Hello all.

I bought some pocket watches with one that is of more interest to me. It came from a German lady and she believes it has been in the family since new. Markings indicate swiss made.

Squirrel and tree very prominent.

Please advise.

Regards

Gold hallmarks: Swiss (squirel) and German (crown).

The tree hallmark indicates the watch/case manufacturer most likely.

The pics show three movements (all from A. Lange in Glashütte) with higher grade but same base.

It is most likely the caliber 43 made in Glashütte Germany by the „Deutsche Präzisions-Uhrenfabrik Glashütte“ (a brand of A. Lange)

Its a swiss made case. The case stamps only relate to the case not the watch movement.  The squirrel is the standard stamp for 14k gold, different grades of gold have different stamps. The tree is probably the assay stamp where it was assayed the letters beneath the assay stamp will be the year it was assayed.

      Tissot case back removal

      By watchweasol · Posted

      The ones I have opened also do not have a pry point , hence the reason for the tool. The watch is clamped in the tool and a blade is screwed into the seam, the blade being chamfered lifts the back then the screw shaft is turned and the back comes off have a look on Ali express for case back removal tools

      Phinney Walker Mickey Mouse Watch HELP

      By Mercurial · Posted

      I have no experience with this watch, but looking at the pictures from the ebay listing linked above, it looks like the outer metal bezel at the back of the watch may not be part of the case proper.  It looks like the watch and strap are sandwiched together, and an inner case may push out of the rear bezel towards the front of the watch.  A case style similar to the Roamer watches where the crystal, movement and caseback pushed out through the back of an outer bezel, only in reverse - this one may push out towards the front.  To test this, you would need to hold the watch, dial down, supporting the dial side of the watch around the edge of the bezel without touching the bezel itself. Then push down carefully on the inner metal ring you can see at the back of the watch. I’m speculating here, proceed at your own risk. Hopefully someone with hands on experience of these watches can chime in! Best Regards, Mark

      Thanks, Mark. That's the kind of reassurance many of us wanted to hear! Yes, life is unfortunately unpredictable, and it would be a shame if the many dedicated WRT: ers became stranded if, god forbid, something happened to you and WRT stopped working.
