ABOUT ITEM DESCRIPTIONS
I first started writing watch parts lists in 1981. I try to be critical in my evaluations so as to avoid disappointments or the bother of returns. I try to follow this format:
Item number
Manufacturer
Size - standard sizes use 'S' for size, millimeter(mm)
measurements
are the diameter of the widest part of the pillar plate
Jewels - if unmarked I will state the minimum with a + if I
think there might be more
OF or HC - open face or hunting
LS or PS - lever set or pendant set
SS or DS - single sunk or double sunk
Dial condition - nothing said, dial is good porcelain.
HL, has a hairline or two, not too bad. Several HL, its a bit
worse.
Bad dial, speaks for itself. A chip is just that, a flake is a
little
piece off the edge such that no copper shows.
Serial number
General description - will mostly be a listing of damage and
missing pieces, I try my best not to miss anything, will be more
complete
and critical on an expensive piece than on a lower priced item.
If
the balance staff is broken or there is some other major problem I
usually
won't check the mainspring. If I say the balance staff is broken,
it could be that a jewel is broken and the balance is OK– I don’t take
them apart to check. Running means running with pretty good
motion
to the balance, but please assume you will need to clean.
Hands – please check out the photo
