Vintage Bercona Sport Diver Watch withOrange Dial, Red Date, Runs FOR PARTS/REPAIR
Vintage Bercona Sport Diver Watch withOrange Dial, Red Date, Runs FOR PARTS/REPAIR

FOR REPAIR – until recently the manual wind movement had run strong and kept accurate time without issue. However, after most recently winding the brassed crown to fully wound status the mainspring would not unwind thus the movement wouldn’t run. This likely indicates that the mainspring needs to be replaced. After a day of remaining…

Vintage Zodiac Sea Skate Diver Watch withSigned Crown, Runs Strong FOR PARTS/REPAIR

FOR REPAIR – The movement runs about 7 minutes fast by the end of its approximate 38 hour power reserve period. And while the time can be set without issue when the crown is wound too quickly it will occasionally sound like crunching lettuce. I’ve noticed that if the crown is wound very slowly this…

Vintage Louis 20 ATM Diver Watch withPatina, Submarine Case, Runs FOR PARTS/REPAIR

As a result I’ve only observed the power reserve lasting for a few hours at a time despite winding the crown 39 full revolutions. A skilled watchmaker can source and install these missing parts. This rarely seen vintage Louis diver has oodles of character and is an interesting project. The “Ra SWISS MADE Ra” and…

Vintage Buren Diver Watch withMint Dial, HEV Screwdown Crown, Runs FOR PARTS/REPAIR

FOR REPAIR – while the movement starts up immediately when the crown is pulled out to set the date/time and continues to run strong for several hours, keeping accurate time when the watch is moved in a brisk circular motion, the HEV screwdown crown does not generate friction when wound in the first position. Therefore…

Vintage Bulova Caravelle Sea Hunter Diver Watch withPatina, Runs FOR PARTS/REPAIR

FOR REPAIR – while the movement runs strong and keeps accurate time over an approximate 41 hour power reserve period when it is lying on a flat surface, I’ve noticed that when the watch is angled so that the crown is facing up (or relatively up) the seconds hand has a tendency to stop. When…

FOR REPAIR – while the movement is clean, the date wheel rolls over as it should, the time can be set without issue and the crown winds smoothly and screws down properly, the movement does not run. Given this and considering that the movement appears to have been last serviced in 1983, a complete overhaul…

Vintage Chronosport UDT Sea Quartz Diver Watch withOrig Band, Runs FOR PARTS/REPAIR

While the screwdown crown unscrews and screws back down perfectly as it should, the time can be set without issue, the hacking feature works and the movement runs strong, keeping accurate time, the digital features function sporadically. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don’t. Given this and considering the movement’s unknown service history a complete overhaul…
