Serial numbers of a Benrus watch are usually located on the movable parts of the watch, or the working part containing the wheels and gears. Referred to as the movement serial number, it can be in different locations on the watch body. Usually, one has to remove the back cover to.
Hello, Newbie here! I have recently acquired a Benrus watch that looks very old. It's not working at present and I don't know enough about it to determine if it is worth the money for repair. Please feel free to post any information you may have about this watch. I have no idea how to open this watch and I don't think I'll attempt it. There are some numbers on the back.ID number or serial number?
Any information is appreciated Thank you! Sorry this picture isn't very good. I'll go take some more now. ** You can't see in this photo but the glass over the face is raised kind of like there is a glass bubble over the face. Your watch could date anywhere from the late 1930s to the early 1950s, but I believe it's probably earlier in that range. Benrus typically used good quality Swiss movements from various manufacturers (they didn't make their own movements). While a few Benrus models are considered collectible, most of their time-only watches are not highly sought after.
The question of whether it's worth it is up to you. While this is not an investment grade watch, it is an attractive piece of good quality. You can generally have a watch like this completely overhauled for less than the cost of a modern fashion watch, and it should give you years of service. If parts are needed, or there is damage to the case, repair becomes more expensive. I believe (and don't quote me on this) that the term 'shock absorber' was a reference to a Benrus-specific modification that allowed the cap jewel on the balance to lift. It was used in the 30's primarily, I think. This case design was aimed at mimicking the rectangular models that were popular whilst using the more common 'round' watch movement.
Installation To setup the DFMirage driver, run. When the driver is installed, it appears in device manager as shown in demoforge mirage driver following. The most popular version among DemoForge Mirage Driver for TightVNC users is 2. Dfmirage driver msi. If you're not already familiar with forums, watch our to get started.
I have one similar that houses an ETA 900; you can see the shock absorber screwed to the balance cock. We could tell you more if you could get a movement picture; maybe take it to a jeweler and ask them to take the back off for you so you can take a picture? Click to expand.As Cary said this cost is significantly less then a good modern fashion watch. Swiss made watches today will set you back several hundred dollars. The quote is quite good; find out what kind of warranty the watch maker offers on his workmanship. A good one will stand behind his service with about 3 to 6 months on workmanship.
Service schedule should be about once every 5 years or so. The modern Swiss are about the same; think about the fact that you get the oil in your car changed on a regular schedule. If you waited until you car came to a halt and wouldn't run prior to a lube job it would be exponentially more expensive. Same idea but smaller scale. Shalondria2, Welcome to the NAWCC board. Because we are a tax exempt organization, we are forbidden by law from commenting on the specific value of watches.
You see the notice 'no appraisals' in the upper right side of this page. Since you know what you have, the best way to value a watch is to follow the auctions of similar watches on internet sites like Ebay. Late 1930s ladies Benrus watches with 15 to 17 jewels and gold filled cases, should do the job. I suppose it is to late to comment on earlier posts, but $56 to $70 for a proper overhaul is too low. Some serious hobby watchmakers may do it for that, but I cannot imagine a qualified professional doing it for this range.
If you are in a higher cost of living location, it is not even close. In my rural area you MAY still find someone who will start at $80.
