This is my blog relating to my hobby of watch repairing. Please feel free to view this and my other Blogs.
Vintage Trafalgar Sidewinder watch with BFG 866 pin lever movement.
Another BFG 866 movement on the bench from the bag of non-working movements won on eBay to practice on.
Non-working and case lugs broken.
Stripped movement completely down, found the pin lever was stuck in movement!
Fully cleaned the parts and reassembled the movement and now is working fine.
Found a gold plated case that fitted the movement that winds at 4o\c position.
Added a gold plated strap and now complete!
Vintage Ingersoll watch with a BFG 866 pin lever movement.
This watch is from the bag of non-working BFG movements I won on eBay, to use as practice.
Markings on the dial: Ingersoll, Antimagnetic, Unbreakable Mainspring, Swiss Made.
Winder at 4o/c
The regulator pin is missing, a new part ordered (part no 307) and the Barrel is rubbing on the top plate!
