serial dated to the end of 1946, Hamilton "Cedric" 14 K gold filled, 18K hands and number markers
4X signed (dial, crown, case, movement)
freshly cleaned and oiled 19 Jewel 982 caliber, still needs one part --
(I had to take apart again because wasnt properly running the first time I assembled it (started and stopped at different dial positions) and as I put it together again not finding any problems I saw the set lever spring was just barely broken (this is what causes the stem/crown to have tension on it as you pull the crown out or push it in. without this set lever "spring" the stem doesn't "click" into place when you try to pull the crown out to set the hands)
I have a medallion 19 Jewel 982 caliber on the way.... maybe I will plug that into this cedric, making it a "uber" expensive.... (14K case and the medallion 19 Jewel 982 movement reeks of upper society lol)
thank you everyone
1: problem with balance staff/wheel
2:got other movement and the roller came off of the balance staff so i'm stuck! i am in the process of buying the tool to re-stake the balance roller table to the tapered balance staff....
