Nice movement made in the 60's featuring the tiny little micro-rotor. This is a Hamilton but I have seen this movement in other makes like Universal and I think Baume & Mercier.It has a 19,800 train. The problem with this was that the watch was not auto-winding. Turns out there was a wheel in the auto-works placed upside down! After service it ran very well. After a full wind it too over 45 hours to stop. Some pictures for your enjoyment... Click here to view the article

What a lovely movement. Must have one... must have one... must have one... :crazysmile:

My two cents: I respect Apple as a driving force in innovation (sometimes) but I find their practices (business, marketing, etc) not to my liking. I've been dealing with them for quite a while as an IT professional (more than 40 years) and there is always something with them money wise: always a catch. I try to stay away from them so I don't get sneared into their money hungry scheme. As the saying goes: won't even touch'em (products) with a 10 foot pole! Respect to their watches, I hope I never find myself in need of using/buying/watever one -- or again, any other of their products. I also hope their very clever marketting techniques and eye candy do not get in the way of my hobby or kill the actual watch industry like when quartz came out in the 80's, putting out of business some good watch companies very much missed today. My beef is with Apple in general, not with the people, so I hope I'm not rubbing anyone the wrong way. If I do, I apologize.

Excellent - well done! Nice looking pics as well.

Yes - and it was only £10. And I fixed it! Yay!!! :) This was the culprit... See the split in the cable: Now some test shots in the garden :)

I think that will soon be rectified ;)

Thanks for the pics Mark. Love the assembly instructions under the dial. Now all I need is a watch with assembly istructions on all the parts ! Cheers, Vic

What I meant was - it's very similar to the ETA 1100, particularly in the triangular bridge, but not quite. Must check Ranfft!

Some more info lol :D
