    Homer Watch?

    This one was a $15 flea market find. Besides Citizen Homers, which this is not, an online search for Homer watches shows mostly low end watches and some quartz ones. This one, however, has a nice 1950's FHF 28 movement inside of a sharp 10kt plated case. Needed a crystal, several cleanings and...

    Gübelin Watches

    Here are 3 that I have. The first one is a Schild 1194. The folks at Gubelin noted that the dial is in "truly beautiful condition" and that "very interesting are the minute and second indicators, which additionally breaks down 1/5 of a second". The second is a Schild 1950's 1320 automatic...

    Funky 1970's Bulova

    Bought this for $3 in a junk shop last weekend. Inside is a Bulova 11AOACD. It was missing crystal and crown, but ticked. Luckily dial/dial markers weren't damaged even though it was buried in a pile of costume jewelry. I thought for sure that this wasn't the correct case-but it is marked...

    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.

    Manufacturer Help? A and T in shield?

    Hi All, I haven't seen this marking before and wonder if anyone recognizes it/movement? Looks like and A and T and R and 34 in a shield. Movement is marked 34 on reverse side. 10 ligne UK flea market find in an old, hinged plated case. Thanks!

    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...

    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...

    What are YOU wearing today? Please share!

    Just got this super clean Zodiac Rotographic at a flea market for almost nothing. AS1361N movement. Interesting to work on. Barrel had a brake spring and mainspring. Weight has a nice mechanism too. Definitely a keeper!

    Movement ID? Rosieres Watch

    Hi all! Does anyone know what movement this is? I'm trying to repair/replace the broken staff, bent balance wheel and twisted pinned hairspring. :( Would be nice to know what it is so I might find correct donor parts instead of tearing into my scrap box. Looks like 10.5 lgn. Thanks!

    1950's Tissot

    Nice! Got a similar one a few months back. Super clean-just needed a thorough clean/oil.

    Defender Watch Co.

    Another under $5 flea mkt find that is now ticking away after some minor repairs. You don't see much about these online. Lovely design with crystal and case back forming a nice tight lozenge that case top then fits over. 2 piece stem/crown is not perfect match-but made do with parts on hand.

    Watch history

    Interestingly, I just purchased one of the same brand in Northern England. Movement looks familiar--haven't taken it apart or researched it yet.

    Junk Pile Survivors

    All this time at home is making me go through my junk/parts boxes. Here are 3 survivors I resurrected this weekend. The dour rectangular guy turned out to be a FHF 29 movement, gilded nicely. Minute hand looks too slim for his mate, but I kept him as found. Magnat-I don't know anything...
