Hope everyone is keeping well? Haven’t posted for a while,,but have been lurking! I recently serviced an old watch sitting in one of the wardrobes having forgotten all about it! I have been wearing it for almost a month now and cannot believe how incredibly accurate it has been. On some days it has only picked up a couple of minutes and then slowly goes back to original time I set it. I am happy with that for a 60 plus year old watch!
i was pleasantly surprised to discover that some of those older Tudor snowflakes use this exact eta 2452! I saw that on eBay they are so many of these movements and also well priced,!! Some of these unknown brand watches range from as little as £70 to £2000. I thought that I would raise this up with those wanting to further their projects with the parts problem issue. I find these older movements much better than the latest 28xx series as they also have a stud screw to replace hair spring and also have a better keyless works assemnly without that horrible cover plate spring!
