Owning a vintage watch is great, understanding its place in Horology is MAGNIFICENT!

Pleasure Surely a converted pendant watch. Yes the scratches are Jewler repair marks, usually a date and a code as to what was done
2nd Bulova - I thought so. Yes a small o = 1944 i think from the look. Not sure which picture relates to it, Hence I like one thread per watch
Glad to have helped regards

GLADIATOR,.... Thanks. The picture of the movement and case back is in my last post. Sorry for the confusion.. That appears to solve the mystery of the date of the second watch as well. Both Bulovas will be taken to a local jeweler to see if he is willing to do repairs to them, at a reasonable price.
As for the Wadsworth cased watch; It appears to be missing only the hour hand, second hand, and the crystal (face ?), and will need some repair to the clasp. Are repair parts available for this watch, and is it economically feasible to do those repairs. Again, I realize sentimental value is more than monetary value, and I wouldn't want to spend a huge fortune on repairs. I'm not going to be looking at a restoration (dial condition, etc.), but rather putting the watch back to a complete running unit (leave the patina).
I don't have an idea what the cost would be to do the above to the watches, and I realize that most here would not venture a guess as to a close cost. Is there a range that would be an acceptable amount to spend on these items?
David.
