seriph Posted May 15, 2017 Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 Beautiful. I've looked at "marriages" over the years and have seen some rippers. Are these originally wristwatches or conversions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard lawton Posted May 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 Hi All were originally Pocket Watches with worn out or damaged cases. I just gave these and a few others a new lease of life. With modern watches getting larger, they now seem fine at 47/48mm Smaller than a Breitling Super Avenger, same size as an IWC Big Pilot or Panerai 127 etc. Amazing movements, the IWC has been serviced and regulated and is gaining about 2-3 sec per day not bad for a movement 113 yrs old !!!!! Thanks for looking Richard 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richard lawton Posted May 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 Hi, How else could you own a Genuine IWC/U.N 15 jewel hand wind movement watch for $1000-1500 Just not possible. Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ThePhilosopher Posted June 10, 2017 Report Share Posted June 10, 2017 These are some beauties, I've been looking at getting a marriage watch or two - any pointers on what to look out for when purchasing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seriph Posted June 10, 2017 Report Share Posted June 10, 2017 I'm researching making adapters that are (hopefully) both beautiful and functional, to enable conversion from pocket to wrist watch. Have only recently begun but think it might be fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hologramet Posted June 10, 2017 Report Share Posted June 10, 2017 @richard lawton: Is some of it Werk24's work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard lawton Posted June 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2017 Hi No, all the work is by me The movements are large so easy to work on, Just make sure you have some skills first when servicing the movement. It is fun, I have 15No in my collection Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
