Here is a item I purchased from a Jewlers estate that had been in storage for many years.
After opening it I found that it was like Christmas... many items to unwrap
Jigsaw Puzzle!
The Big parts look easy, but this is beyond my paygrade...
Lucky I found this site a couple of months back, I knew where to turn, as my local guy seems to only want to cobble with Pocket watches.
Presenting the 1950 Bulova "His Excellency M" 21J 8AD New Old Stock, in near mint condition with some assembly required!
The case and band show no wear and only some slight tarnishing from being packed away for 60 years, the crystal is chipped along the inside edge like it was damaged when removed, and the packet states that it needs a foot jewel...maybe a watch that was used to repair a customers, or one that quality control missed at the factory?
I have a new Glass Crystal on the way and will be polishing up the case while the hard part will be left up to Mike (timemachines) to solve the difficult (to me anyway) part of the puzzle.
I will post the final product in My Watches when completed.
It looks nice, You might want to pack the balance in a seperate container as it looks like the stud end of the hairspring is a little tweeked. This is common when a guy puts all the part together and then moves them around. Think what it would do in the mail! LOL, I have lots of these movements for parts.
It will be Sweet when done. Mike.
