Bulova and LeGant watches
« on: September 22, 2017, 12:57:42 pm »
These belonged to my father's brother and I have now inherited them. I did do some research on the mechanical LeGant hunter's case pocket watch that has a locomotive motif. This brand was a Montgomery Ward "store" brand. LeGant was sold to Seiko in the early 1990's and production eventually ceased. My main concern is that it only runs when tilted so that the left side, where it joins the cover, is down. What would cause that?

The mechanical Bulova works without a problem. I tried to take the back off, but when I try, the bezel and crystal fall off and I didn't want to manipulate it with the crystal off for fear I would inadvertently damage the hands.

I was going to take these to the local jeweler next week to see if he was interested in them. What would be a reasonable price to ask for them?
