Couple of WWs to give info on.
I picked up a couple WW the other day and would like opinions as to whether they are worth saving. I tore into the Villereuse and it is a 7 jewel and I broke the upper pinion on the escape wheel. I do have the hands for it. It may be just a case salvage at best. The other, Tevo Watch Co., has had a metallurgist working on the back. I'm trying to learn something about WWs so I am buying some cheapies to work on/at.

And the movement for the Tevo. The Tevo was actually running but the hands don't move.

I think they are good practice watches, parts donor movements.

Thanks Gary, for both responses, I'm really just getting my feet wet with WWs. I got these for $4 each and can't go too wrong.
