Could This Be Used?

[thl]

Hi,

I received a 40's ( I suppose) Baume et Mercier chrono 3 9 with this movement.

As I don't really like the watch, could the movement be used for a "new" project ( maybe 6263...) ?

Thanks for any suggestion.

Sorry for the pics! ( camera's gone...)

looks like a leandron caliber... not valjoux or venus

Let me get this right you have a 40's Baume et Mercier which you want to trash to use the movement in a rep!

Can I suggest that you have the watch valued at an AD before you start pulling it apart.

Hi Ken,

Your suggestion is very welcome, in effect I know its value, but actually, for many reasons, I would prefer to

" transform" it in something else without selling it...

Cheers

B&Ms aren't really worth much as far as I can tell...

They are sold in most mid-upper range jewelery shops in Malls right alongside Raymond Weils, Rados, and Guccis.

Good quality watches, but I wouldn't say significant by any means.
