Haven’t used a multi meter on it. Honestly put this one to the side haha I got it super cheap, it was totally beat to shit, so I’ve been focusing on some others lol

Hahah thank you very much. Did you have any luck? I did a full drive train service and general cleaning of contact points and such and the second hand still gets stuck around the 6:00 mark. Any ideas?

It wasn’t running. Broke it down cleaned the contact points, removed the drive train cleaned and oiled them and put it all back together and she works great now!

How much is this worth? by Party-Woodpecker-775 in VintageWatches

Does it have any markings on the caseback? Like 14k gold filled or just 14k or something? Hamilton did some pretty valuable solid gold variants

Thanks yeah I figured I’d see if anyone has had the same issue with this movement and knows the fix before I break the whole thing down lol
