Hi all just sorting through some of my boxes and found this little gem LOL, I know after doing some reading some people would like to service their own watch or maybe take it apart and back together etc I thought this may be some use so they don’t break/ruin their own.

I bought this for £80 5 ish years ago and to my amazement the movement still works BUT no second hand.

I have the all the other parts of the watch if you want it but I don’t want anything for it it’s FREEEEEEE just pay for postage that’s it :)

im sure this will help someone out there and it’s better than going in the bin? Might be a bit of fun who knows pictures to follow.

also could you shed some light on the movement would be nice to know.

The movement is a 2813. The second hand pinion probably broke off with the second hand - but if it didn't, laying the movement pinion side down on the table would have done the job nicely. :) It's not a movement that's really even worth practicing on - they're so cheap that they're basically built to be thrown away if anything breaks and replaced with a new one.

The whole thing looks extremely cheap. I think you probably over-paid originally.

I'm not sure you can post things here to give away. Even if they're free they should be in the sales section. However, I could be completely wrong about that. Anyway, it's a charitable gesture so I'm not knocking you.

EDIT: Well, down_under confirmed my suspicions while i was waffling on.

That was the original thought, I guess it’s good for someone to practice on so they can see how small the parts are and gather whether they want to service their own watch etc.

I guess it’s better off than being thrown in the bin, the watch was purchased around 5 years ago or so.

Thank you for the info

Following discussions with Down_Under the sale will be put up tomorrow for Free it will be a first come first served basis etc so i won’t respond to the mass amount of messages I’m getting apologies I have to be fair and follow forum rules.

Not sure on postage cost but more than Happy to send it off first and provide a receipt after for payment if need be just choose your class :) and yes the watch is completely free.
