Aloha ,
My Friend always goes to the Swap Meets here and collects watch's and give them to me.
He gave me a ... Zip Lock Bag .... few months ago with some .... Fashion Watch's and some Non-Runners.
Zip Lock Bag cost him .... $5.00 U.S.D.
I like fooling with some of them and this one was in the bag also.
So last night I worked on it and got it going and cleaned.
This watch was not working at all and I went to do it. It had a ....Tangled Hair Spring .... that I had to straighten up
to get it working.
Note: As you can see the settling on it is right on ..... ZERO.....
.
Note : I just wanted to get it going again.
Results :
It works great now and keep terrific time. ( But I have to many watch's already and it is like a Nickel on me ....
. )
Case has some age on it , but the movement keeps .... Long Good Time ..... as I said.
