Quartz movement day in the workshop!

| Some the “45 Car Boot” watches |
Today I started to assemble some the “45 Car Boot” watches that
I won on eBay that I disassembled and clean yesterday.

| Stem extension on a broken stem in this movement. |
Good practice, as they say, “practice makes perfect”. So I had
to put a stem extension on a broken stem in one movement. Straight hands, and
replace on the other movement.
 |
| Kings London Watch |
Worked on the smallest movement I have worked on so far, the watch is a MARC “Ring” watch.
This movement had been well abused, I was lucky the movement
was not a completely sealed one, so could disable part of the movement. I
needed to do this to straighten and untwist the long battery clip, with careful
manipulation it was a success.

| MARC Ring Watch |
All the watches have new batteries, and they are back to
life and running well.
 |
| MABZ Watch |
Will leave them running while I check out the next draw of
the lot, then I will polish the cases and remove the marks from the crystals.

| Timex Watch |
