You mean getting it back to working order or is there visible damage?
You can try Moren Jewelers in Silver Spring, they would be able to do it. 301-588-5549

Ive always wanted a 19th century silver pocket watch. Some i see might need a little maintenance some are not working at all. Just trying to see how much this might cost me. Ill give that place a ring. Thanks

Anyone have a ballpark figure on rebuilding an old pocket watch?

Eckers in Bethesda is who I send all my family pocket watches to. Late 1800’s, early 1900’s pieces.

And how much has that run you?

It varies considerably depending on what I've need to have done. From full top to bottom movement overhauls to a minor service.

Give them a call, they are very reasonable.

Anyone try the About Vintage watches? I am NOT a watch guy but some of their chronographs excite me.

$300+ for a nicely cased Miyota quartz movement? Pass

 

[FrankOceanXray]

Well they end up being sub $300 after all the exclusive deals of course.. as there could never be an honest price...

Steinhart watches from Gmomon are great value. Wonderfull Swiss automatic movements from all the top suppliers and a great selection of homage watches.

Yep. Used to have a Nav-B but sold it last year.
I loved it but it was 44mm and I’d only wear it a couple times a year so it was time to move it.

Honestly, just buy direct from Steinhart. They ship fast (usu 3 days) from Germany

I have four and they have all been fantastic

Need some help. I saw this ad and I really like the watch. The company is a CA based designer, probably rebranding Chinese crap. Who makes a quality quartz watch in this style? I've seen Seiko automatics like that but I don't own a winder so autos are out for me. Doesn't have to be identical but legible numbers, preferably a hackable second hand, bonus points for a 24 hour ring and date. Shouldn't be huge, black watch face, green canvas/ NATO strap.

Just curious, why are autos out without a winder? If you're wearing it everyday you won't need to wind it at all. Besides, winding just takes a few seconds when you need to actually do it.
I probably have 20 automatic watches and a few manual winds and don't own a winder. My daily wear watch never needs winding unless I'm on vacation or a long weekend where I'm wearing something else from the collection.

MVMT watches are exact models from Alibaba.com with a logo on them.

There are YouTube videos exposing these Kickstarter clowns.

There is no bigger rip in the world of watches than MVMT.

Vincero is prob a close second.

Seiko, and Citizen make good quartz watches if that’s what you want. The citizen ecodrive is neat for what it is, and worth its price point.

I wear digitals for work and around the house. I have two analogs that I alternate if I need to look slightly fancier. This would be a weekend watch in all likelihood.

Other than the pic you posted, not sure what your taste is but I have a Hamilton Khaki mechanical that will last almost 80 hours on a full wind. Great watch and very quick and easy to set.
