availability of parts/maintenance
Posted: Wed Nov 30, 2016 1:34 pm
I'm looking at 3 vintage watches and wondering if there may be issues getting parts or service maintenance done in the future. I'm a novice to vintage watches.
Hertig Certina movement 331. It appears that the numbers on the back of the watch say 43175 4 2012668
GUB Glashutte Automat. On the face it says "Stossgesichert" and "23 rubis". Back has numbers 14649 and also says "Stossgesichert, edelstahlboden, and plaque 20 micrometers." Seller does not know the movement and has not removed the back plate to check.
GUB Glashutte Automat. Face says "Stossgesichert" and "23 rubis". Back has numbers 45914, stossgesichert, and wassergeschatzt. It has movement 67.1
I can't find anything on these serial numbers. I know stossgesichert means shock resistant and wassergeschatzt means water resistant, but I know nothing else about these watches. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
