The watch is rose gold and the hands are purple. The numbers are white painted and the minute and sub seconds tracks are black painted. The dial is a rose or bronze color. Band is a flex signed Benrus GF top and SS back. Case back is rose gold to match the case. Case is in excellent condition with no signs of wear and the crown is rose gold unsigned. Dial and movement are signed Bulova. Inside of back is as shown. I don't have any history on this watch but it came from my friend the clock maker who found it in with many of the other things in his father's watch shop and ask me to make it run.
Yes Bobby it does but still no advert. The watch is not mine, I am rebuilding and restoring it for another dear friend.It required some extensive repairs, new barrel arbor, 2nd and 3rd wheels pallet fork, escapement wheel and jewel and stem and crown. It was a very satisfying job especially when it began to tick again and keeps pretty good time so far..
How is your Berkshire doing?? Do you need me to work on it for you?? Just holler and I will be happy to help.

Check your clutch lever spring. It sounds like it may have slipped off the lever or is broken or very weak. When you apply the pressure you are effectively replacing the pressure the spring applies to the clutch lever. If that isn't it I will have to think about it for a while but will contact you on Sunday to let you know what else I come up with.
