• Upcoming updates
    Over the next couple of weeks we will be performing software updates on the forum. These will be completed in small steps as we upgrade individual software addons. You might occasionally see a maintenance message that will last a few minutes at most.

    If we anticipate an update will take more than a few minutes, we'll put up a notice with estimated time.

    Thank you!

    Nice Lorsa 237B - Cool Dial!

    Flea market purchase. A Lorsa 237B inside - in fine shape. But check out that dial! The red letters are hard to read-but it is branded DYNO. Love that basketweave print. Only needed cleaning and oiling and it's running like a top.

    I found this trademark on line for the Philadelphia Watch Case Co. 1889. Looks closer to the one in my case. Anyone familiar with these cases?

    Hampden in American Watch Co. Canada Case-Gold or Gold Plated?

    Thanks Rick-that makes total sense-an online serial number site called it Perry-but the description/run detail makes sense.

    Hampden in American Watch Co. Canada Case-Gold or Gold Plated?

    Hi all! Picked up this nice 18S Hampden this weekend for not very much money. The serial number shows it to be a Perry grade. It looks like it will just need cleaning and oiling to run-in fine shape. I'm perplexed by the case. It has the winged wheel logo of American Watch Co.-Canada and a...

    Repair Help with LeCoultre 910-broken clutch wheel/setting wheel

    I arrived at the canon pinion solution just as I read your post and laughed out loud! Thank you! This is why I love this forum-you guys always have the answers! I decided to see where the setting was hanging up and removed part by part to diagnose it. The 3 setting wheels in the photo below...

    Memovex Travel Pocket Alarm-Uncasing?

    Problem solved! It's front loading. I was able to coax bezel off and it pushed right out through the front. Thanks for listening to my rant :). If I do get it running-will post pics!

    Memovex Travel Pocket Alarm-Uncasing?

    Thanks! I already tried that - but they are different movements/configurations and the nice one has no retaining ring like the damaged one. Hoping someone might have removed one like this damaged one before.

    Memovex Travel Pocket Alarm-Uncasing?

    Hi all, A friend asked me if I could get this running... :oops:. I told him that it looks like it was buried in someones yard for a few years before being found again. The back cover is missing and it's full of soil and rust. I had to soak the stem set screws for 2 days with penetrating...

    GFC Besancon Wrist Watch

    Hi All, Thought this was an interesting one to share. Recent, very cheap purchase. It is an ETA 1080 movement with dial labeled GFC Besancon. I know from internet that Besancon is a French watch making city/center. It needed a stem, crown and detente lever and is now running nicely. Nice...

    2 Oldies-Beguelin and Pierce

    Fixed up a neat little old Pierce watch for a friend, and he gave me this fixer upper in return. I've attached pics of both. The Beguelin has a AS 340, 6J, 2 adj movement inside and a killer case. Does anyone know what movement the Pierce is? Both needed stem and crown help, hands, crystals...

    Please Show the Most Recent Addition to Your EUROPEAN (and UK) Collection

    Hi all! I am strictly a "budget" collector, so can't share the likes of what I see shared here - but I thought this recent $10 purchase was interesting! Key wind and set. Heavily brassed case. But otherwise a nice runner! I like how the dial back has serial number written on it. Evidently...

    A Few Questions On This Finger Bridge PW

    Hi All! Had a few questions on this generic KW/KS one that I just cleaned and oiled and which is running nicely. 1) The only stamp other than serial numbers is a cross or + with 646 on the bottom balance plate. Any idea if this is a model/calibre number or such? 2) Was it common for these to...

    2 Ingersoll Wrist Watches

    Hi all! Well - these two were certainly an adventure to get running. I've had them for a while-paid just a few dollars for them both at a flea mkt. The 17 jewel one is an HB 115 movement. It had an unhooked mainspring, a loose pallet jewel, and a tiny metal shard floating around in the...
