[QUOTE="MR Treasure Hunter, post: 2966358, member: 11626"]A couple more of my auction wins arrived today. I got all these pocket watch crystals. A few of them were broken but it doesn't matter. [ATTACH=full]288116[/ATTACH] My best auction win were these 3 pocket watches and chains. I can't believe my luck. I can't remember how much I paid but it was less than 20 pounds. [ATTACH=full]288117[/ATTACH] The first gold colored watch I looked at all looked very good and I wound it and it works flawlessly, I can't find any issues with it other than it having a broken hinge where the back cover goes on. It also has a nice weight to it, worth every penny for this watch alone. [ATTACH=full]288129[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]288133[/ATTACH] I checked the other gold colored watch and everything looks good apart from the balance wheel not looking right but it looks like a simple repair the rest of the movement looks pretty good and clean. I'm building up a nice collection of these watches. [ATTACH=full]288132[/ATTACH] The movement winds and somewhat ticked but needs a good clean and I have the original case for that movement so I'm very chuffed with this lot. [ATTACH=full]288134[/ATTACH] I'm going to see if I can straighten out the hand and give the dial a light careful clean and repair the hole.[/QUOTE]
