1929 'BUCKINGHAM'
Another fine time piece. Keep them comming Mark. I just love the quality of your works of art.
Buckingham
Never seen this one before, Buckingham it is.
Great shape and that 8AN movement looks like it is in incredible condition.
remarkable David,
: )
Broken mainspring and stem, the balance swings freely and it runs under pressure.
Should be fine once I can figure out which mainspring it needs, 3 different varieties so far all listed for the 8AN and it's possible, from what I am seeing, the 8AN was constructed from 2 different ebauches. An FF Robert and an ETA 980? All 3 mains I've found have different lengths and widths.
Reverend?
The Case has a minor issue with the Crystal shelf, directly above the stem hole. I'm not sure what the ick is, (windshield sealant?) but it's proving to be very stubborn.
Fresh pics when it's finished.
New (er) 1928 ad shows the 'BUCKINGHAM' with Cathedral style hands.
Yay!
Renewed interest in this watch has Me fitting new glass, which was not easy to find I may add.
the BB 2343 180 was very close with the narrow side edge hanging on the bezel a little....
One hour later after some careful fitting with the old whetstone. Perfect fit.
I'll allow the GS cement to dry for 24 hrs and clean up the excess.

The crystal is very easy to come by. I replied to your inquiry the next day that I had the crystal.
