llsteve80 Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 Ran across this on the bay. Still not as bad as the one where the guy drilled the lugholes out on one side to put a bigger spring bar in (probably because that makes more sense than finding the right spring bar) and filed grooves into the caseback to open it with a regular case opener. He also scratched over the serial number with what looked like a nail. Still readable though. That was classic. Now for this pic, the groove is so deep I imagine it was done intentionally, but why? Even I'm not that much of a hack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 My guess is the watch's owner was involved in an accident while wearing the watch or the watch was damaged in machinery of some kind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greystash Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 Looks like he tried to cut through the caseback with a hacksaw. Perhaps it was seized shut somehow and he wanted to get to the movement so he could put it up for sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llsteve80 Posted March 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 Wonder if it still works. Looks like whatever happened, the rotor was first in one position and then moved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
