1924 Longines 18.90M calibre (Pocket watch movement) 39+ mm diameter http://www.offwatch....t=4930&start=45 NB! The M in 18.90M stand for Mince or thin movement, so makes for a rather slim watch Original dial and hands, Dial is golden (metal dial) and not yellow Example of pocket watch with this movement and dial (not the one used here): 44mm without crown in size so perfect for me!!! My watch was recased to make wrist watch by astonjenks. Warning!!! Such a converted watch is not for everyday use or for chopping wood as the shock absorbation is lacking on these old pocket watch movements. NB! As a general rule a pocket watch movement should stay in the pocket watch...its actually a crime to convert it if the original pocket watch can be restored or is a family heirloom. http://forum.chronom...90#.U-soDhBiJhQ

It is great looking

That is one beautiful turby.quality piece...how accurate is it compared to the gen in your opinion? Gen retails for $135,800 41mm across and only 8.85mm thick

That a watch!!! I want one!!!

replica and quality are not often compatible dimensions...... High quality is a relative term (in terms of replicas). You have to read and search and do research on this forum for weeks buy and try 10+ different replicas, see how they break down or not, and learn to spot the little and greater faults....before you can make an intellignet decission to what is quality or not.

Great looking TAG!!!

The five time zone. Movement: Swiss quartz ETA: 956.112, 280.002

Yes was a great replica of this or at least something very similar but without diamonds and SS bracelet already back in 2004! Guess its still around and others like it but other might know!

Its sure looks like quality. Lucky you! Movement must be 1800 or so

Yours is much better looking dial and case and pretty stamps, clearly better quality, need pics of the movement on yours to see similarity This is the one i got after my grandfather 1910+ or so Runs like a dream and has been regularly serviced

Its a pretty Standard Swiss bar movement with cylinder escapement..With lepine IV-like style...pre 1860? La Fabrique d’ébauches P.-E. Jaccottet también fabricó ébauches del calibre Lépine IV, el cual se utilizó de 1835 a 1850 Escape (mecanismo que permite acompasar la frecuencia en la marcha del reloj) de cilindro found one similar but even less jeweled one the web and one lupine IV style even an Stauffer Son & Co. Chaux-de-Fonds factory one Cylinder escapement Brass balance wheel, no temperature compensation Going barrel - no fusee - typical Swiss arrangement Fully bridged - no top plate, unlike the full and three quarter plate movements described by Lecluse. Key wind and set Jeweled to the third wheel with clear jewels Gilded plates and bridges, blued screws

Super info..cresent and star on movement too so,,,,

Obviously it can be a good idea...even if it really does not works for Ali G. it can work for you if done properly Not like this? but seriously these guys get a lot of bitches.... But like this? But yes there are other watchless ways too...

This is the (low quality) pocket watch passed down to me from my great grandfather..obviously of emotional importance to me....but I have no idea who the movement maker is 1.Outer case is 0.800 silver, inner case is A metal and this might mean 2. Lokes like the movement has been recased (as seconds hand is too long) 3. Movement is probably SWISS, but for USA or Bristish marked but is not of high quality..but what maker is it? 4. Watch might have been bought back in the 1880s (He was captain on commercial sail-ships about 1870-1910, once had his own vessel and spent 60 years of his life at the high seas). Lucky to have survived and to have died in his own bed close to 98 years old. 5. To me it looks like the kind of watches sold in germany during this period 6. The watch does not run at resently but runs a little when turned by key (moves just a fraction of an inch) so spring may be stuck...needs some serious service for sure as has not been used for the last 50 years or more 7. The odd looking key chain is made of a metal that feels very very light, certainly its not silver..cheap but old..what metal might this be? Obviously this is not a pocket watch forum but maybe some of you can give clues to the make of this watch and its movement

Crazy!! Smilling sun and fake tourby galore!!

I do love these watches BUT! From now on pocket movements will stay in their pocketwatches where they (usually) belong. This is the movement on the HAMILTON i inherited from my late grandfather!
