Aloha Sir,


small,  I think this might be one of them you are getting in the mail or maybe another.
I have this one and it purr's really nice, and I cleaned and serviced it too. No strap or Bracelet on it at all.
It's a nice little beautiful watch though, but like I said ...Little.

Holy smokes Louis While that's not the movement I have coming in the mail BUT That is the movement I started on last night! Only marks were Hong Kong on the inside caseback back (Dial read Carlisle) Mines a 21 jewels but that's because they count the caps. When I took the train bridge loose there were two Brass shims? I'd never seen those on other movements and was going to post about it, and Bamm you show it! There's a makers mark on the plate and a number but it's only done I'm sure to make it "Look Swiss" There's the shield with what looks like the Swiss Cross and a number under it. Part was machined away...When I got the watch the hands were locked up and the wouldn't turn because of all the Dried *** in the works. It was ticking when I got it which is always encouraging. I'll start another thread once I finish it...

These assortments are a bit of pot luck usually get heaps you don't need and if lucky a couple you do!

Thank You ausimax, I saw those while looking and just scanning the photo, which I realize is just an example, I didn't notice and "Japanese". I'll add it to my next order though as it won't hurt to have while all the odds stuff I have been getting into.

Thank you Louis, I will now be on the hunt for the French Jim Braun The Carlisle has some pretty beat up screw heads.I'm certain I can get them to screw back down tight  but that would be proper. I'll have to keep a sharp eey out since I don;t recall seeing them listed as that... I just saw someone mention saving and old watch as being a Savivor vs survivor. I like that.
