Did the Berkshire 10BT come in a 15 Jewel version?
John JP
John No ad for a 15 jewel Berkshire. The 10BT movement does come in both 15 & 17 jewels. No Berkshire watch record on site w/ a 15 jewel movement of any movement model. (probably woulda been noted to be a movement swap or non-conforming if there were a mis-ID'ed Berkshire w/ 15 jewels).
In reply to OK thanks. I just wondered. I by JP
Your welcome John. You can always take a pic of the 17 BT from the Berkshire, put the 15 jewel'er in it, and just use Photoshop to superimpose the 17 jewel count and center wheel pinion jewel in the new marriage. That's what I do when mine don't match the ads. ...becomes problematic when I sell them though....
Naw. The &%^#@@!@ post man was a substitue for the regular and he left it in the post office. My regular guy came back and he found it. I have taken the movement apart and found more than a bent hairspring. I put a new balance and hair spring in and it stlii didn't want to run. The escapement wheel was bad too. so I just put a 15 jewel movement in it and polished it up real good and am going to see if I can send the case back out to be re-plated and the holes filled in. The case really polished up great and looks like a million bucks. I don't care if it has the wrong jewel count in it cause it will be in my special keeper case and I will wear it frequently. Thank so very much my dear friend. I am fixing the air warden and putting another dial on it as I had a few that were in real good shape and are black dial with lume numbers. I will put lume hands on it and it will make a great little watch.
Do you want a copy of the catalogs, if so, I will send them to you.
Your Buddy
