Now I am not sure what I got myself into here, I think I may have been had?...if so it was bound to happen sooner or later being a compulsive watch buyer. I still like the look of it a lot.  Now this is the dodgy bit I think, plastic housing around the edge and a 1 Jewel movement?! It says 1314 Swiss I think. Any info people?  |

hmmm ndburley...I like the overall design of this one...have no idea what this really is? Do you know anything more about it? What did the seller say it was? The 777/1190 is probably on every model they made...how may they actually made...who knows? Sorry for all the questions... I have to say, the movement has me completely puzzled???  How is the time keeping on this one nd?...just curious. I'm sure someone here at 3T can offer some details...that person is not me, but enjoy it!!! I'm guessing you picked it up for less than a song... |

I keeps good time, I am puzzled on the movement also....beats at 21600vph if my ear serves me correctly. its just odd....1 jewel? It has RE stamped on it also. Thanks Simon I had a look but this is small, this movement sites inside an average size watch, 38mm roughly so you have an idea of its size. Someone must know...its really odd to me I have never seen this before. It could be cheap rubbish but I am still trying to find out more info.... P.S Simon I like your new avatar.

Congrats and Very cool NB!....Simon would be right that it is a pin lever mechanical — it resembles a Lucerne "Swiss Basis" 1-jewel mechanical pin lever pendent watch movement. ....these were used in inexpensise pocket watches and are the "bare essentials" of movements .hand6.gif |

I wish they would stay out of it. Nevermind....watches with "swiss" stamped on them cant be trusted these days. I have tried to contact the seller again to confirm Last edited on Wed Apr 14th, 2010 04:52 pm by ndburley |

if you click on this link and scroll down to the 12th watch you will see yours only with a 21j auto (or at least that is what they claim)for $105. ...this site deals in Asian repros imo... http://www.automatic-watches.eu/start.php?special_actions.php RONDA Automatic " MP" Date SWISS MADE NOS 80ties Military Watch Description: Men's watch with 21 jewels Ronda automatic (self-winding) movement, black dial, uminouis hands and silver indices, mineral crystal front, screwed back.  |

If you did purchase it under the pretense that it was an O&W watch, and you paid with paypal, you can dispute the purchase as a fake. I did this on a watch that I purchased that was fake and all I had to do was have a reputable watch shop write a brief letter that it was indeed fake and paypal refunded my money. It took about 3 weeks. Good luck sorting it out. |

I have had a reply from the Vendor - Dear neoburley, this is a orginal new old stock (NOS) movement, a SWISS movement!!!!! If you do not like the watch, because its only one jewel you can send it back. But please notice, this is a SWISS movement. The Swiss have also produced such movements. - uhren-galerie_de Now I didn't complain about it having one Jewel I asked what movement it uses that only has 1 jewel. I paid $88 for it. MP Military - Pilot watch - Swiss mechanical movement (New Old Stock), new case stainless steel New Old Stock - Swiss mechanical movement size without crown 40 mm or 1.57 inch high quality strap mineral crystal screwed exhibition back box for 1 watch Of course, all our articles are original goods with 2 years manufacturer's warranty and billing.
