Today was another quartz watch day as I strip down and clean the next lot of watches from my 45 watches eBay lot.

 Practice makes perfect they say!

Had a bit of luck, as I had a purple strap in my strap box to match one of the watches, result!

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

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.

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.

All the watches have new batteries, and they are back to life and running well.

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.
