While the date and time can be set without issue and the crown winds beautifully, the movement runs sporadically. I’ve observed it running strong and keeping accurate time for more than a 24 hour period on multiple occasions but I’ve also observed it stop inconsistently at other times. A complete overhaul is needed. This vintage…
Vintage Tressa World Time Diver Watch withBlue Dial, Patina, Runs FOR PARTS/REPAIR
Until recently the movement was keeping accurate time. While the seconds hand continues to run strong, albeit fast, the minute hand now has a tendency to start and stop, moving inconsistently on its own. Sometimes the watch runs as it should, although a bit fast, during a full power reserve cycle while other times the…
Vintage Sandoz 20 ATM Diver Watch withPatina, Signed Crown, Runs FOR PARTS/REPAIR
While the movement runs strong, keeps accurate time and the date wheel rolls over automatically as it should, when the screwdown crown is pulled out to set the time it tends to skip and every several revolutions sounds like crunching lettuce. Also, when setting the time the hour hand sometimes gets stuck and bounces uncontrollably…

Vintage Sheffield Day-Date Diver Watch withMint Dial, Runs Strong FOR PARTS/REPAIR
While the movement runs strong it tends to run anywhere from 45 minutes to more than an hour slow at the end of its approximate 38 hour power reserve period. And while the date wheel rolls over the day wheel does not. Additionally, occasionally after winding the crown several full revolutions there will be a…

While the movement runs strong and appears to keep accurate time over an approximate 38 hour power reserve period and all chronograph functions work perfectly as they should, the crown does not pull out. While it can be wound without issue, albeit a bit tightly, it is stuck and won’t pull out. As a result…
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…
