Nice that they gave you the casing paperwork with that one.
I bought a box like that many years ago and sold a few to recoup the initial cost and traded the rest to my watchmaker.

Although not a watchmaker I find it amazing how much of these old parts are still available and how much more are out there waiting to be found. Standardization also comes into mind where a lot of the new models share a lot of the same components. These older stocks came from a generation where a lot of models had its own unique part.

Yeah, that's what I find intriguing about the old stuff, looking forward to sorting through it.

Nice score Tim, I've got two of those assortments. That lower right hand corner just might be holding a couple 320W10GN's for 6105-811X's. One of mine had 4 320W10GN's........... a077  Here's another assortment I picked up a while back..........over 200 Seiko crystals  |

I must say, they have come in handy. I've sold some helping to offset the cost and I've traded some for a couple of hard to find original 6139-601X bracelets. It's also nice to have that hard to find original crystal in stock when it comes to a restoration.

Picked up this lot a while back, from a local WIS who is into Swiss watches. His opinion was that they were worthless a077   |
