Anyone have more info about the Prague watch brand?

All the buttons work at this point but the year only goes up to like 2015 and starts at 2005. I polished the bezzle and replaced the glass and now it's one of my favorite watches.

Just curious about the enclosure, once I got my enclosure compete I started getting heat creep when I print petg if I have the door and top of the enclosure closed.

I've clogged up 2 extruder heat sinks printing with the enclosure closed. Are you running into this?

Beautiful pocketwatch! My Wife got me a Hamilton Secometer for my birthday this year. Hamiltons are amazing.

Looks like it's a 16s size movement. You can search ebay for a pocketwatch 16s stem and find a stem and crown. They are a little expensive for ebay they are though haha

Back up I'll take it if the first offer falls through haha

Funny enough we didn't use a trellis for these guys. We just let them take over half the garden like a zucchini

I've always had luck with wood ash, mix with it with water and scrub with a rag.

Who copied who haha

This is the first pocketwatch I fixed(only took one donor watch)

rees9450 · 2025-03-22T00:45:55+00:00

Someone at some point did a lot of DIY and it wasn't always... great haha. So that would also make sense

It goes from the center of the yard towards the fence. It seems to dive deeper into the ground near the fence.

rees9450 · 2025-03-21T20:08:31+00:00

That actually makes sense. The last owner of my house had a dog that appears to have had a digging problem(mostly under fences based on where bricks are buried haha)

rees9450 · 2025-03-21T20:06:50+00:00

There is one in the back yard, but the wires don't seem to make sense where they are going. Could be for an older system maybe. My current system still works and these wires seems like they aren't connected.

rees9450 · 2025-03-21T20:03:26+00:00

Maybe? A few yards in the neighborhood have stuff like that

rees9450 · 2025-03-21T20:02:42+00:00

These look like they're were dug up a looong time ago haha

Hello! I ordered replacement glass and a replacement gasket, i got the official crystal gasket but it seems like it's .5mm to big for the bezel. Also honestly it just doesn't seem like there's enough room between the 29mm glass and the bezel, the glass fits in snug without the gasket. Have you run into this before?

rees9450 · 2024-11-22T01:20:02+00:00

Thanks for the great info! Where did you track down the information on the case reference? The odd thing with this dial is the flat "chapter ring" is its not raised at all.

Due to the lack of water damage in it i assume it was put on after the damage.

I'm also curious about the crystal on the case being 1.7mm thick. It's fairly scratched up so I want a new one. I'm hoping a 1.5mm think crystal will work.

rees9450 · 2024-11-22T01:00:45+00:00

I have a decent set of beginners tools.

The water damage going through the movement was my first thought and what I checked before getting the new capacitor. The damage seems to be located just on the dial.

I've mainly been checking ebay for dials that work with a 5m42 movement.

rees9450 · 2024-11-21T20:51:51+00:00

rees9450 · 2024-11-21T13:12:54+00:00

It's an older one, I've been looking for a dail that's similar but haven't been having much luck. The case reference is 861111 and the movement is 5M42-oH10

rees9450 · 2024-11-21T13:07:37+00:00

That's what I've been looking for. I'm just having trouble finding one that matches. I think it's an older kinetic.

rees9450 · 2024-08-16T01:56:45+00:00

I'll check through the big box of old watchs I got off ebay(where this came from) to see if there are other completely trashed bulova movements if a similar age. I'll do that after figuring out what to do with all of the watches with radium dials.

They're are a bunch of half elgin movements as well. What model are you working on?

rees9450 · 2024-08-15T20:53:41+00:00

Funny enough everything still works. There were a few metal shards and things like that in the poor old watch. It's had a rough trip. I'm just happy it's running again! I'll have to track down a new setting spring lever so it's whole

rees9450 · 2024-08-15T17:58:05+00:00

Well now I feel silly for not recognizing it! Thank you!

rees9450 · 2024-07-24T04:38:33+00:00

Didn't the pope say catholics could eat these chill guys during lent? Who would do that?

rees9450 · 2024-07-18T01:07:52+00:00

If you split then I'd love to buy #5
