Lord Geordie Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 This is the newest of my little projects. I bought this Roskopf pocket watch of eBay last week as I wanted the mintue hand and crystal to complete another rebuild project I Had carried out! It turns out the hand was too big. and the crystal was broken upon arrival. Never the less I am quite happy as it is too nice a watch to break! Listed as a non runner I stripped it down and found a build up of dirt on the pivots. I used pegwood to clean out the pivot holes and some pithwood to clean the pivots. A light application of oil and re assembled it ran OK but not strong, I have a feeling the barrel needs stripping and cleaning, Grease the arbour and re assemble again. A new Crystal should work out cheap enough and should make a really nice watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
