Can someone help me identify this watch model? The case diameter measures roughly 30mm. I picked it up 20-30 years ago and had kind of forgotten about it until I unpacked from our most recent move. From my own amateurish research, it appears to be from the 50s, but most of the similar watches I’ve found either have a larger crown in lieu of the 12 hour or slightly different hour markers or red date numerals. I know next to nothing about vintage Rolex watches so really appreciate any help…

Vintage Rolex Precision–help with ID/info?

Hi – last of my flea market finds which are, so far, devoid of much useful research info! This watch has the small convex area in the centre of the crystal which I understand was originally due to the manufacturing process years ago? The dial diameter is 2mm wider than my other pocket watches.

There is no silver mark that I can distinguish but it looks like a silver case. The inside of the outer back has two or three repairer’s marks, but in addition to the 4 digit serial number I can…

Unidentified 42mm dial silver(?) pocket watch – with 12mm convex feature in centre of crystal

Hey all. Thanks for the add. I collect military items and just bought a collection of Kreigsmarine items. I have this stopwatch that I’m trying to verify is war time production. Not used to movements without serial numbers.
Thanks in advance for everyone’s help with this.

How about a thread on good deals made on watches that only had minor fixes needed?

I just picked up a cool Gruen bumper cheap because it had running troubles. Took the back off and the click and click screw fell out!

Cleaned up nice!

I thought there was a way to date them by the serial number, but couldn’t find the site. Ron

Apologies if i’m posting this in the wrong place. Should start by saying i’m new to watches. Watch keeps good time for me, about 10 seconds fast a day. Just the movement/dial etc is wobbling in the case. Doesn’t seem to move when the crown is pushed in but when it’s pulled out and winding it will move then. I assume this is something i should try to fix, is it possible i can do this? any help would be great thanks. Cannot afford to take it to be serviced atm

mine has that black plastic bit…

Cardinal Submarine help (movement wobbling in case)

Found this nice older automatic. Appears to be a polished steel case aprox 38~40 mm. I haven’t been able to dig up much info on it. I know some of the history of Bucherer or Carl F. Unfamiliar with the logo looks like an oval with 3 points on top? Possibly to represent a ring? Just a guess I would say late 60’s early 70’s vintage?
Any insight appreciated.
