mjmurphy926 Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 I just bought this on the bay: Not bad for a 53 year old movement. I probably over paid a little bit ($92 + $3.95 shipping), but someone else wanted it pretty bad too. We kind of got into a bidding war. I've been watching these for a few weeks now and this is one of the cleanest movements I've seen. I want to pull the movement and build a watch, just not sure where to start. I've seen someone install one of these movements in a fiddy case, and I've seen t install one in one of his cases. I think I like t's better. (If you're reading this t, any chance I could get a hold of one of those cases?) Anyway, I'm open to suggestions. Thanks, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 You may want to keep it as is for awhile. I have a feeling we are about to see a resurgence of interest (now that the era of big watches are officially behind us) in gentlemen's pocketwatches. In a couple of years, your new find could be the new 'black', as they say in the fashion biz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadog13 Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 I've been looking at the pocketwatches for the last year on e-bay...saw some amazing looking movements going FS at a ridiculous price...pity I have never picked up any of them... I have this picture saved on my laptop from the project watch from a member of the forum (I think!)..not sure who he is and I hope he will not mind me posting his beautiful work...hope he sees this thread and posts more of them...
