donor movement
the case ring isn't in great condition
start stop pusher isn't original
wrong balance screw
wrong pallet bridge screws
wrong spring screws
wrong minute recorder jumper screw
I got this pusher stem in stock
Looks right, but we will see when I put the watch together
now to the donor movement ...
the beat error is a bit high
bang on!
old paint stripped off the hands
my paint isn't that good any more, and I've ordered new enamel paint, and will then try again
hand in paint stripper
this time, it's Humbrol, and not Revell paint ;-)
that looks a lot better
I propose this colour for the luminous compound - please let me know if that's ok
the hour recorder rides up too high
broaching the hour recorder
hands on!
the original case at the top has been polished to death
the old pusher gaskets are about to dissolve
pushers cleaned and new gaskets in background
the bezel ring doesn't want to go on, as the new case is 5/100 larger
after taking a bit of material off the inner side of the bezel with a graver, the bezel fits into place
wet testing without the movement
no result, as the crown pops out
the new pushers have arrived
new pushers in case
that doesn't look too good ...
the water is coming in through both brand new pushers
