Mark NathansonNeed Help-Is This A Repo Or Original Regulator???
Hello, need help on knowledge if this a repo of an old clock or an original? Is it rare or common. It is marked "AUZENIER 31 Day". Advice appreciated, thanks.

Ged PitchfordHello, Look for Philips screws, in Hinges or Movement mountings. All 31day clocks Iv'e seen are Korean or from India. Iv'e had a Korean 31 day wall clock for 20 odd years it runs fine. Regards, Ged.

John ArrowoodI think some of the Chinese clock movements are 31-day also. In my opinion, the Korean movements (as bad as some of them are) are better than the Indian. I have a couple Korean movements that have run well for 20 or so years also; however, one is suffering from a strange malady. It will keep good time for a couple days while I watch it then when I forget to check it it jumps ahead several hours. I haven't caught the hands whizzing around the dial but I suspect the escape wheel may be skipping the pallets on occasion.

Mark NathansonShe is looking to get $75 for clock. If is repo or Korean, is it worth buying as investment? Thanks.

Tom SeymourI have seen repro clocks like that get $100 - $200 at auctions. (general auctions - not clock auctions where most of the bidders are more informed and looking for antiques.)

Ged PitchfordMark, Not an investment, but as something to learn on maybe yes. I would shoot for $50. Regards, Ged.
