Stainless steel case, original signed crown, blue dial, and Hamilton Cal 646 (AS1876) - just maybe a year and what the movement should be...thanks I’m a beginner.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13777823135718377689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855696413978429801.post-61661964431695736772019-11-19T15:21:29.999-08:002019-11-19T15:21:29.999-08:00Nice watch Dan..I love the layout of the dial !

Have a 735, 747, 730 and 770 complete and sitting around. Thought it would make a nice project. I just keep an eye out for something with a good case and bad movement to throw in one of these. Although now I do not have a spare 748, 735 and 736. Although it is not the end of the world and a hobby none the less. Had about 45 vintage Hamilton pieces. Down to under 10 now.

I would remove the pallet fork and see if the movement whirls freely. Then I'd install the balance without the pallet fork and see if the balance is lined up properly and the hairspring isn't goofed up. Then I'd remove the balance, install the pallet fork and try again. However, you've chosen the most difficult movement to work on - it's very easy to screw up.HandyDanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02083270175066343104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855696413978429801.post-85035049110119819252019-11-09T10:05:18.950-08:002019-11-09T10:05:18.950-08:00Good to see you back Dan!

Low amplitude and high beat error on both. Maybe I damaged the balance assembly on both?Living without a lothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02553157275909456701noreply@blogger.com
