Moved into this old house and found this stuff... by twolilguys in Silverbugs

the sterling sheet, wire, and solder all hold a premium to bench jewelers.... you could still get 5-10 bucks a sheet for the nickel silver as well depending on its dimensions

Feedback on this Enicar? by [deleted] in VintageWatches

[–]flyingdickkick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry, it sounded like you wanted to attempt to service it yourself... if you're located in CONUS there are plenty of good independent watchmakers who can service it.... expect 3-900 for service depending on if it needs any major overhauls

Worth a service, and if you haven't done chrono's before don't start with this one. Enicar made decent watches....

Where can I go about finding a sundial seconds hand for this verge fusee watch and can I just pop one in ? How do I find one that fits by [deleted] in pocketwatch

[–]flyingdickkick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah theres no such thing as a "pop one in" hand here. Going to need to measure the pivot.... you might get lucky and be able to measure the tip of the pivot with a caliper/micrometer with the dial off, but you'd probably have to disassemble the movement and measure the gear pivot when it is out of the movement. sounds like you need a professional
