I never looked at any 0s and 6s watches before, until Lynn's birthday approached.

Then Phil happened to send me one (thanks, Brother ).

It wasn't running. There was a burr on the lower balance pivot that was binding it up, and the mainspring was blown.

I successfully got both the roller table and the hairspring off (thanks, Roger ), chucked it into the lathe, and honed the burr out. The movement was cleaned and oiled, a new main was installed, and several screws were blued.

A 6s 15-jewel gilt Model 2 Rockford - running, and keeping time:

A better dial, a new crystal (thanks, Peter ), and all three hands were sanded, polished, and re-blued.

And the caseback.

I told her the center stone was a diamond. I'm fairly sure she believed me.

Pretty little watch..looks like it was never used..

Very nice Eric! Great job fixing it up. She's going to love it.

Great Looking watch.. very nice job on the bluing.

Nice job Eric
