Balance is fine I think it was overwound and has a broken $10 mainspring is all. I would expect a more ornate movement in a solid gold watch. The one in it is generic looking. I did already confirm that it is an AS 9.75 but it is rough cut generic version. Gallet does have a history of using...
Update. I have looked around some more. I am thinking this is probably a Gallet watch with a replacement movement installed. 1902-1920 who knows. Those watch families were like a soap opera.
I am trying to date this watch. My guess is mid 50's. Anyone out there know for sure? It has an 11k movement and has a stainless case. Says "use allproof 1200 wrench" on bottom. It is opened by removing the crystal. 11k movement in it. Thanks.
I think one of the watchmakers at the factory pieced this together and branded it Crest. The case is 10k rgp...The hood lugs may have been added to an already existing cyma case that fit the cyma 364 movement. The band is a mix. Chain link part appears to be solid 12k and the stretch part looks...
This one runs and keeps time. All I could find is that the movement is a rebranded Cyma and that Crest is I dunno basically a rebranded Cyma? That is all I can find on it. Can anyone educate me on it? Is it worth bothering with? Any info is greatly appreciated.
I doubt this one is worth saving. On to the next project I think. I have an Omega here that I have been having trouble with. I need a case tube, female stem and a crown, and I have been told that Omega is now owned by swatch and they shut down The Omega parts distribution.
I believe that I found the movement on ebay. (Schild 9.75) I guess anyone could buy it and put their name on it. Should I just assume its not valuable and figure it's value by its gold weight?
