The dial is no help because some one replaced the original. The watch is about 16sz.

I might of found out what it is. Longines

I think some one might of butchered it up. They cut off the seconds pinion. Installed the wrong dial. So it looks like a big project. It needs a mainspring, center jewel, seconds pinion, correct dial,and a case. WOW Eek Mad Just what I need another project. CHRIS I cant fix the pinion .

Example shown in current eBay auction...

If any one knows where there is a dial Like the one pictured above let me know. This will be the hardest thing to find. OR fix. Werner do you have any leads on a dial.

That movement looks to be very high quality which is nice, but from your description it sounds like someone was not so nice to it at some point in its life. That one that is for sale on Ebay from the guy in Russia (warning, Will Robinson) appears to have had its dial repainted with some kind of modern lume. Radium would have burnt out the zinc sulfide (the material mixed with the radium that is powered by the radioactivity and that glows) by now and oxidized it to a brownish color that no longer glows even though the radium is still going at full strength. The paint on the numbers and hands of that one appear to be yellow green on my monitor which is not the way it should look. Hopefully that is all that is not original on that one.

As stated earlier that I can not fix the broken pinion on the 4th wheel. So I'm going to send it off to Chris to see if he can wave his magic wand over the watch and get it back into working condition. I know someone that can make me a dial. Because this will be the hardest thing to find. It will not be original. But as close as it gets to saving this watch. PS Don't tell Chris that the dial will not be original. Big Grin

Just kidding. It is packaged and will go out Monday.

Do you know where I can get the gear train for the wind indicator?

Steve how complete is you watch. Dial case?

It is complete and running- the dial matches the holes for all the hands but the feet did not match the holes in the watch. The feet were broken when I purchased it, so it is being held with dial feet ( double sided sticky pads)

It is running about 1-2 minutes per week fast.

I have an identical watch, but the dial is marked Tiffany and it doesn't have a seconds bit, just the 8 day dial indicator. Mines a 3.8 million serial number.
I need a stem for mine, and I just checked Borel, and they don't list a 19.41 model.
Anyone have a source for a stem?
Thank you,
