I rember seeing a YouTube vid from a jewlers in London who rebuilds/ refurb them , maybe worth a enquiry?
Recently purchased one from watchgeko for a 60s Seiko
It was on a sale and feels decent quality but I have not fitted it yet so can't comment on comfort. I don't think there is much of a taper...
I would get a extract from Omega as it would help to show the history , but you may have trouble as your case reference will not be matched to the movement , this may cause the museum a problem when...
Any watchmaker who services vintage pieces should be able to help . The crown looks a bit wonky on the photo ? Stem problem ?
Parts maybe an issue but there is always eBay for movements .
Good luck...
Yep plenty of jokers when it comes to Vintage watches and the parts :rolleyes-new:
Sharp side cutters or a good pair of electricians wire snips will cut the old bars of , the springs inside are probably full of crud and rust . I bet they are brass coloured ?
Simon Freese may be able to help you ?
If not you need to play the waiting game , I would set up a saved search on ebay you may get lucky . Fingers crossed for you
My Postie reckons its very busy !
Tier 4 lockdowns and shielding staff , extra online orders on top of the normal Christmas post :unconscious:
Glad to hear you eventually got a new watch to...
I don't think you will be disappointed when it arrives
Im a recent convert as well , i recently purchased a watch with a Morellato strap and I had to buy a few more for my other watches. Very impressed for the money .
I am normally a Colareb fan but...
Thanks watchbloke , fairly common problem with these old watches ?
Don't want to clutter you thread but I have exactly the same problem on a 321 cal Speedmaster . It's off to Simon Freese as soon as restrictions lifted but it would be nice to know for my own...
Nice piece the crown looks correct as it's a 3 pusher watch, looks to be a unusual rattrapante chronograph
You will need to get the back off as reference numbers will be inside . You should be...
Lovely old watch , never seen one of these before. I assume it's Mappin and Webb?
Or have I got that wrong
Nice case with the hinge and inscription
, really interesting piece
If you can insert the crown/ stem and it still moves the hands , this would suggest its just a keyless works problem ? setting lever loose ?
have you tried taking the back off and screwing in the...
Nice piece, as Jason said Google the movement number and you will find out what battery is required.
It may be worthwhile contacting electric watches ( Google) for servicing advice .
You are...
Strange it looks like a Deville case with a standard dial !
Has the dial been refinished?
I own a couple of vintage GP , great watches and I would like to add a few more ! I dont own any of there newer models , so can only give my opinion from a vintage perspective
After researching...
My experience has always been good
I have purchased 3 watches from Catawiki all from Europe . The fees are a expensive BUT cheaper than a Auction house here in the UK, saleroom ect
Just wanted to add a new purchase of mine ,from the bay and a brand that I didnt know alot about .
Ogival , As 1916 auto movement , approx 43mm really nice watch and my only world time. ...
You are right with your assumption , they did the Seamaster De ville which was the dress watch line .
The 30mm manual winds are obviously slimmer on your wrist , available in gold or gold plate...
