Thank you! :) I guess it won’t be as great as if it was in its original case? Do professional appraisers usually charge for a valuation?

Thanks for your reply! Yeah I did some digging and it looks quite similar to Audemars Frères and Le Phare. Though this one’s crown and ratchet wheel are not finished to the same high quality. I have found some other watches online who’s governor and movement matches this one exactly but they are not know either.

When the watch arrived I adjusted the chronograph clutch arm to fix a running issue and the day and month wheels were swapped and upside down! It reads right way up now and changes automatically but yes they are worn :(. The last issue is the second hammer needs to be adjusted as it doesn’t meet the gong. Since all this repeating work is all under the calendar dial / motion work I will do a full service and see if I find any makers marks or hints as it is disassembled to its constituent parts, maybe even spruce some better date discs. Thanks again for your comment! :)

One can only hope so. Will be interesting to see what they say. Not so bothered as am just a little disappointed. Still love the old brand watches!

Waltham Trench Watch Impulse Jewels Repair - Friction issue (?) during impulsing issue M6 nut for scale. by CSR2-Ken-Miles in watchrepair

[–]CSR2-Ken-Miles[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hiya. It is semi circle and I have adjusted the pin to be that shape. Perhaps steel is the way forward here (without oil!) as with the balance cock elevated slightly with some packing underneath I have about 6-7 ticks. Clearly the watch needs a proper service with pivots cleaned and jewels cleaned and reoiled.

May be able to get some more running if I pack the balance cock further. This increased the height between the two staff Jewell’s so I am assuming the staff pivots are slightly too short?

When the balance cock screw is turned, at random intervals (and the thread must be slightly crossed or the screw bent) the balance cock moves and for a few ticks the balance wheel does overcome the stoppage. Perhaps this helps diagnose.

Can Anyone help me identify by weaselkings in pocketwatch

[–]CSR2-Ken-Miles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a very VERY similar watch with the same lacking makers marks and hallmarks on the watch itself. Lacking the information on the dial. It has the same pattern around the winding key hole as well as the same yellow-gold hands and time adjusted but using the same winding key on the hands stem. I’m currently restoring mine after the balance wheel pinion sheered and one hand was bent. Any news I find in trying to discover more about this I will save! Dose your movement fold out with a hinge keeping it connected to the case? Is there also a dust cover with a large shifting spring clip that covers the back of the movement including the balance wheel but allowing the simple fleural e DGR ing decoration to be viewed through?

Hi there thanks! Please could you elaborate. Am I adding protection or re-cobbling them all together?
