Thanks bucko170! I hope they do ;-)

Hi Ade51A,
Thanks! Still stuck here in a hotel room on my travels, but I have tried out batteries on a couple...The Wyler works great, and there is signs of life on the ladies Pulsar touch-command (think this one needs a new QC).
Time to get home.

Thanks!!!
This was a WACC announced auction with multiple consigners who were old watchmakers, or WACC members who were sponsored in long ago.

Does anyone recognise the "b" marked clasp part of this watch?
It mentions "Case made in Italy" on inside of case back.
Found this one in a cigar box of watch parts. Someone else that night may have got the face/crystal of this watch in another box I did not win.
I found the NOS case back to the NOS Gold-Toned Hamilton LED case with partial band in a separate box of parts I won, and I had no idea it was there when I was bidding on it.

Thanks ;-)

It looked like a MBO watch design that I saw somewhere, but was unsure since it had no faceplate.

On to the next!

BENRUS,

Great shopping find. All I ever find are used Braziers, and panty hose (not much fun). But here is how my personal taste would rank them...

1) BladerRunner Microma - If indeed that is the correct BladeRunner model, and the module is not torched.
2) Wyler
3) Seiko 0532-5029
4) CROTON
5) Savant (watch out for that Tritium)
6) Jules Jurgensen:
7) SEIKO M158-5009

I am not sure how far the repairs will take you, but at least you have some real complete watches there.

Its the 2 button version Microma (not the 3 button), But it does have the Chronograph module installed. This module, and its original have a problem where the screen pulsates/flashes the time/seconds continuously...Drains the batteries quickly. I gave up on this watch, and am awaiting a better doner for parts...also needs its original band.


Here is the Croton cleaned up a bit:

Not worth putting a battery in it just to watch the display suffer.

My favourite find so far has to be the Wyler, but that SEIKO display on that crown-set model beams its digits at me every time I walk past 8-) I like this one allot!

More pictures to come ;-)

Got this MARCEL working over the weekend, and reworked a Frontier module board onto the blue Hamilton Marked carrier I had to make my NOS case a working Hamilton watch :mrgreen:
Also noticed the case back to my Stainless is only 100 digits off from the Gold Toned one! ...Weird

The last three digits represent the production dates so one is April 1976 the other is May 1976.

So, does the first three numbers represent the actual serial number of the case? Are these the exact same serial but made a month apart? Sorry for the confusion, and thanks for the help ;-)

Thanks

The first three digits (992) denote the model/style number, the last three the date code 476 (April 1976).
