About 6 months ago I picked up an Invicta Grand River and was really impressed by the quality of the case and look. It also had a Seiko NH35A hacking auto movement. So a few weeks ago, I picked up the Grand Diver 2. Here is the picture of this beast. It weighs about half a pound. Had the same NH35A movement, which I hear is reliable. I am an old diver, and this is definitely a dive watch. Retail on this was $856 US. I paid a lot less.4c0f123ff000afa84f27951b7e9ce3b7.jpga43b5ee82089a59aada01b2c0b5913ab.jpga778f82029ae59879a22009d7bf87274.jpg

I picked up the Invicta pro diver a while back. It's also fitted with the Seiko nh35 movement. Paid £62 Brand new in the box. There's a lot of Invictas I don't like but think the "Diver Automatics" in terms of value for what you get, are the best on today's market.

      You will still be looking for a balance complete I’m afraid, this is the balance staff, balance wheel and hairspring in one package. Hairspring and the balance wheel are matched in the factory. Whilst we can change a balance staff the hairspring and balance wheel stay together.   Tom

      The hairspring end has come adrift from the small terminal barrel.  I have tried to remove the taper pin to relocate it, but the task is beyond my skill set, eyes, hands and being in my 70s, probably beyond my life expectancy.  It is not too badly mangled on the end.  On the ebay offer, that really is a bit on the rich side.  I'll keep looking, maybe a good hairspring will turn up with a shot balance staff. As for time spent on knees.  I made up one of these from 3M magnetic tape and a piece of wood.  It works well for magnetic parts. Other things I have suffered with.  I found lubricants so very expensive that I bought some very small syringes and tiny needles.  I just decant a drop into my oiling pots when I start a movement and the remainder keeps really well in the syringes. Finally identifying the correct screw for the part led me to make up the board in the final pic.   Thanks for the info. Kind regards   Chris

      Yes that's the type @watchweasol is referring too but I don't like them as you don't get any feel to what's happening.

      Hi there Stoller,   Caliber is generally stamped under the balance or thereabouts.  Caliber can't neccessarily be identified by bridge layout. Regs

      Unless you've got any better suggestions Isn't that what this forum is about? It still depends what state the balance is in to start with. Edit You see, it's things like this that really wind me up and make me wonder if it's worth even sticking around, think I'll say goodnight and keep well
