Having a bad night not only did i only break even on a watch..i put together an 8ac and the balance seems to be binding on something,its not the center wheel i checked that,maybe the barrel is binding on the 1st wheel????
I picked up this 1955 Watertite?? at a local auction with a bunch of others, nice case, great running, but had a real ugly dial and well worn crystal.
I tried glass cleaner, soapy water and could not get the gunk off. The better half suggested I add a little white vinegar to hot soapy water, so I did and like magic it lifted it right off!
I just picked this up and will add to the database when it arrives. Sellers description:
This lot contains a very interesting Bulova teaching aid for the Bulova mechanical 10BM man’s 23 jewel wristwatch movement. This is a ten-page booklet that shows how to disassemble and reassemble a mechanical 10BM man’s wristwatch movement. This booklet was produced by Bulova and gives the name of each and every part. This is a very interesting teaching device and a very informational booklet for the up and coming watch repair person.

Hello maybe i am just doing this wrong but there has to be a better way to get the watch oil out of the container???? there has to be someother way instead of playing around with a screwdriver and hoping it comes out and in to the oil cup correctly...Hope for no smears, lost oil, dirt in the oil vial. Has any one had good luck using a automatic oiler...I dont know about the one size fits all on them...and unless your a heroin addict or something i don't really have too many needles lying around...can someone help me...thanks ahead of time....

Does anyone have a 13AF movement holder similar to the 10AN shown below but to fit a 13AF tonneau movement for sale?
Well, mysterious to me... Pictured below is my PhD advisor’s father’s watch. I am told it is a 1967 model 214 Accutron. This is the only memento left to my advisor by his father so as you can imagine it has the utmost in sentimental value. While wearing it, the plastic “crystal” popped off and needs replacing.
