Also this. The seller just dropped the price by $200. I would jump on it, but I’m overspent. No watch budget right now. But this is a great price for this case. I would try to take the quartz off the dial and put an eta auto into it. This case would take one no problem.

I was watching this and forgot about it. Not a bad little watch for the final price
Was titled “Fairchild Semiconductor Watch” when it is actually a vintage Hamilton Automatic in a Fairchild Box.

Dial looks a little like my Gigandet.

Is this a Rolex movement? Rolex made watches for Eatons Canada back in the day. They sold under the name Birkdale. Figured someone might like this.

This looks to me like a Cyma/Tavannes movement.

If this is the case, pass it although it is such a beautiful movement.
It has a 1.0 mm stem (no adapters abailable) and a very low CP/HW. Very difficult to use for a build.

Well, you can always rethread it to 0,9 mm and use adapter...

I wasn't sure on this one. Haven't seen this model before.

I have picked up a couple Birkdales that had Rolex movements in them.

If I look at the serial partially hidden under the balance it looks like this caliber:

This is the larger version and IIRC has also a more common stem diameter. If you I tend a single piece dial not thicker than 0.4 and your hands, this may work out wit a little bit of effort.
