Illinois Central Pocket Watch Service and Repair
Repair of a Vintage Illinois Central Pocket Watch
Disassembled, cleaned and lubricated watch. Replaced broken mainspring with a white alloy spring (I prefer to use white alloy if available as these last longer.) Replaced crystal. Dial has hairline cracks. I was able to use some titanium white oil paint and fill in some of the lines. The cracks are still seen but not as visible. This is a good alternative to a complete dial restoration. Reassembled and tested. This was one of the few watches I have worked on that required no regulating after service. A tribute to the quality of this timepiece.
