Dear goldsmithworks, I cannot read the info on the dial plate to see the manufacturers stamp? Its rare to see the dial plate side and movement ID books almost always show the setting pieces, not the dial view. Reilluminated is not a term Im familiar with? Does this mean adding lume to the hands and dial dots but not reprinting the dial? IS THIS GUY FOR REAL?
ILLUMINATING A DIAL MEANS ADDING RADIUM, TRITIUM, OR LUMINOVA [I.E. LUMINATION] OR SOME OTHER MATERIAL TO THE NUMBERS, DOTS, AND/OR MARKERS AND HANDS TO MAKE THEM GLOW IN THE DARK. WHEN THE LUMINATION IS DEAD, YOU RE-ILLUMINATE TO RESTORE ILLUMINATION .. HENCE, RE-ILLUMINATE…. This dial is clearly not one used by MINERVA. 35000 PICTURES OF MY RESTORATIONS ARE ONLINE, EVEN IF I WERE A DUMMY, THAT MANY PICS I MUST EQUATE TO MORE THAN A BOOK?? 39 OF THESE ARE WWII ERA MINERVA. .TWO STYLES IN WHITE TWO IN BLACK. ONE STYLE NUMBERS WERE ILLUMINATED, THE OTHER HAD NONE, AND SOME HAD DOTS. ALL HAD DIFFERENT STAMPS, NUMBERS, SCRIBING ON DIAL BACKS. IT HAS BEEN PROVED THAT MINERVA FARMED OUT DIALS. DEPENDING ON RUNS, THERE COULD BE NUMBERS. I HAVE YET TO EVER SEE A BOOK THAT COVERED THESE FACTS. Yes people running forums can be a bit overreactive at times. OK, OVERACTIVE.. LIKE YOU???

NOT ONLY DO WE DEMONSTRATE THIS SO, TO ASSIST YOU IN YOUR KNOWLEDGE THAT WILL DEMONSTRATE THE MOST IMPORTANT FEATURE PROVINENCE
THE DIAL IN QUESTION WE USE AF LUMINOVA FIRST OF ALL I AM NOT ANTI-FORUM. MOST AVERAGE JOE’S AND EXPERTS ALIKE REQUIRE THEM TO INVEST TO UNDERSTAND AND TO LEARN.— I EVEN USE THEM, BUT THEN, THERE ARE THE WEASELS AND MISFITS WHO HAVE NOTHING TO DO, IF YOU ARE NOT A CONFORMIST TO THEIR IDEAS, THEN YOU ARE A TARGET TO THEIR HATRED. WE HAD A PATRON INVEST IN THIS BEAUTY ONLY TO DISCOVER THAT AN ANTI-NON-CONFORMIST-LEECH ACTUALLY SAID THE DIAL WAS NOT A MINERVA DIAL. THEN ADDED SOME MUMBO JUMBO AND THERE BY SHOT DOWN A BEAUTIFUL ALL ORIGINAL MINERVA SALE, I HAVE COPIED THIS TO GOLDSMITHWORKS, GOLDSMITHWATCHWORKS, VINTAGETIMEREMADEINAMERICA GOLDSMITHTRAINING
IMAGE TAKEN IN LARGE FORMAT THURSDAY 27 MARCH I NEVER EVEN GAVE THE DIAL BACK ANY CONSIDERATION. IT MEANS NOTHING IN THE CASE [PUN INCLUDED] OF 1938-1945 MINERVA WWII WATCHES IN THE STEEL CASE WITH THE SAME MOVEMENT. BEFORE AND DURING WWII MINERVA’S FARMED DIALS. THAT IS, THEY HAD AN OUTSIDE COMPANY MAKE THE DIAL; STEEL CASES ALSO. . YOU SEE, STEEL WAS ALLOCATED. EVEN IN THE LAND OF THE NEUTRAL SWISS. SO IT WAS A WAY OF GETTING MORE STEEL AND OTHER MATERIALS. NUMBERS USUALLY MEANT THE “RUN” NUMBER AND SOME HAD THE MODEL FIGURED IN. BUT MOST OF IT WAS FOR THE RUN, WHO DID/MADE. THE RUN. SOME NUMBERS WERE ALREADY ON THE BLANKS. THEY DENOTED THE MANUFACTURER INFO. BUT, SORRY TO SAY, ON 39 WWII ERA MINERVA WATCHES THAT HAD THIS CASE, MOVEMENT AND DIAL, SOME WITH W/ILLUMINATED RAISED NUMBERS, SOME WITH NO ILLUMINATION, SOME WITH 4 DOTS, IN BLACK OR WHITE, THERE WERE DIFFERENT NUMBERS ON THE CASE BACK. NONE COULD MATCH MINERVA CAUSE THEY WERE ALL DIFFERENT. SORRY TO SAY, THERE IS NO CODE BOOK! NOTE STAINING?. WE DID NOT WANT TO DAMAGE IT OR USE ANYTHING THAT WOULD TRANSFER TO MOVEMENT- LIKE A SILICONE WASH.. THAT DIAL, LESS THE LUME DOTS, IT IS AS IT WAS. A SILICONE WASH, MORE TO PROTECT THE DIAL THEN ANYTHING ELSE, IS A PROCESS DESIGNED BY ROCK. IT DOES NOTHING TO ELIMINATE THE VALUE BUT RAISE IT 50 YEARS FROM NOW HAD THIS BEEN RESTORED IT WOULD NOT LOOK THIS WAY. WE ARE FAMOUS FOR OUR DIAL RESTORES. YOU WOULD HAVE TO BE CRAZY TO RESTORE AN 80 YEAR OLD DIAL THAT IS PRISTINE! A MOST HONORABLE INVESTMENT FAIR AND TRUTHFUL INVESTMENT ON BOTH SIDES. OFFERS OF SPLITTING THE PROFITS AND ADVICE THAT PROFITED THE OWNER.
Per the phone instructions I received yesterday, I am submitting a written request to ascertain whether or not your company would be interested in buying a men’s Minerva wrist watch? I inherited this watch from my late uncle’s estate. He served in the Pacific theater of naval operations as a chaplain during WWII, and it is thought that this watch was with him since that time. The watch runs, but I’m sure needs a cleaning. The photos I’ve provided below will help you, but should you need additional information, please let me know. You all seem to know these watches, so I thought to contact you first thereby saving myself the trouble of selling it myself on eBay. Sincerely, CLICK FOR THE LARGE PICS SENT TO US
BE SURE TO VIEW THE DIAL. THIS IS WITHOUT A DOUBT UIN FACT AS IT WAS WHEN PURCHASED, WORN, THEM PLACED IN A DRAWER OR SAFETY BOX. CLICK FOR LARGE PIC
Message: GREETINGS, SORRY FOR THE DELAY. I HAVE BEEN SETTING UP A FEW NEW SITES AND LOST TIME, A NICE MINERVA. I CANNOT DATE IT WITHOUT THE MOVEMENT INFO. IT IS IMPORTANT ON DATING. PRICE IS COMPLETELY TIED TO DATING. THE CASING CAN BE 1935 TO 1965. IF IT IS A WWII, 1935 TO 1945, VALUE IS HIGHER. RESTORED = 400.00 APPRAISAL = 600.00. IT MAY GO HIGHER, I WOULD NEVER LIST AT PRICE I WANT TO GET…. SO LISTING PRICE WOULD BE HIGHER THAN 400. NOTE: APPRAISAL BEING COSTS OF WATCH, COST OF RESTORE = WATCH AT FULL RETAIL. PAYOUT IS 600.00. IF IT IS POST WWII, A FULLY RESTORED 300.00 PRICE WITH 450.00 APPRAISAL.
Message:
Message: your Minerva is WWII. probably 1943 to 1944 the “1187” model. note from link, your model has no shock protection over balance staff [no brass with red jewel] only a pivot jewel. that points to early date because the incabloc shock system was patented. Also In my opinion the white dial points to British or American sale and not German; which is rare, since most Minerva pieces during war went to Germany.I WOULD NOT RUN THE WATCH, movement is extremely dirty. wait until it is serviced. the balance adjustment is almost dead center. the movement looks, magnified of course, like it has ha its share of work over the years.note condition of finish– not a problem as to resale. Luckily over all condition looks good, ESPECIALLY THE DIAL. Some rust stains where gasket FITS, but minor. fully restored, SILICONE WASH DIAL, OVERHAUL MOV. RESTORE STEEL CASE asking 375 to 475. no less than 300.00. Appraisal would be keystone [twice top price] if I buy could not invest more than 75.00, my cost to restore 100-150. cost to restore for patron? 299-325 [due to labor] so it is better 4 you to sell on the bay or do a 50/50.with me. I cover shipping . Now, what more can we say, do or show/// . view pics. only the hands and dial dots were re-illuminated,. case restored, new crystal. movement overhauled case sealed.a warranty and appraisal added. NOTE THERE IS MORE THEN 15 CHAPTERS. WE ADDED THE THREE MOST IMPORTANT
NOTE. THIS TIME PIECE WAS PURCHASED FROM A PATRON FROM EBAY. IT WAS HIS DADS IN WWII AND THE DEAL BEGAN WITH A TICKET REQUEST. I NOW HAVE ANOTHER REQUEST.

In 1902, under the leadership of C. Robert’s sons, Charles-Auguste and Georges-Louis, MINERVA became a manufacturer of watches in their own engineering workshops. In 1901, The earliest MINERVA wristwatch was manufactured, but the watch company’s greatest success came in 1923 with the introduction the No. 20, a caliber timepiece that perfectly illustrates the classic and refined architecture of wrist chronographs of that era, with a column-wheel mechanism, a Breguet balance-spring and 17 jewels. With the launch of this prestigious watch, the company earned its reputation as a manufacturer of complicated movements of exceptional quality, and the rest is history. MINERVA was responsible In 1936 for time-keeping in the 1936 Winter Olympics in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, and in the years after WWII, the MINERVA watch company developed a full range of mechanical movements, notably the movements made by Ebauches S.A. DURING WWII, MINERVA SUPPLIED WATCHES TO MANY GOVERNMENTS. THE GERMAN WAR DEPARTMENT INVESTED IN THOUSANDS OF MINERVA WATCHES AND TIMERS. HOW ABOUT ANOTHER KILLER WWII ERA WRIST WATCH. THIS ONE AN AWESOME 31 MM X 39 MM WONDERFUL WWII MINERVA, WITH ORIGINAL MINERVA SIGNED DIAL WITH RE-ILLUMINATED DOTS AND HANDS, WITH A SIGNED MINERVA AND SIGNED STAINLESS STEEL SCREW DOWN CASE BACK, AND A SIGNED MINERVA MOVEMENT.
DIALS
THERE ARE PLENTY OF VINTAGE ANTIQUE WATCHES WITH ORIGINAL DIALS THAT LOOK LIKE THEY WERE FIRED FROM A BAZOOKA. YOU SEE THEM ON THE FORUMS. PEOPLE ALL GIDDY ABOUT THEIR NEW OLD MINERVA WITH ORIGINAL DIAL. YOU TAKE A LOOK AND SEE THAT THE DAMAGED DIAL IS SO BAD YOU SIMPLY THINK WHY WOULD HE BUY IT, IT MUST BE WORTH A LOT” NOW, I HAVE BEEN BANNED ON AND OFF MANY TIMES ON THOSE FORUMS. SEEMS PEOPLE CAN BE SO SET IN THEIR WAYS. MANY SIMPLY ARE IGNORANT OF THE FACTS IN THE NEW WORD OF THE VINTAGE WATCH TRADE. 1- MILITARY WATCHES DO NOT HAVE TO BE SUPPLIED BY THE GOVERNMENT TO BE MILITARY.
ONE TIME I GOT BANNED AFTER I ATE A FORUM UP WITH FACT. I PRODUCED A PICTURE SHOWING A SHOP IN BROAD DAYLIGHT. AN ORIGINAL PICTURE THAT HAD LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF WWI TRENCH WATCHES AND KITCHNER STRAPS IN THE WINDOW. IT BLEW AWAY A GROUP OF MODERN DAY 14TH CENTURY INQUISITORS OF THE GALILEO THINKERS OF THE 21ST CENTURY.
2- I ARGUED WITH THESE OLDY BUT GOODIES UNTIL I REALIZED I IN FACT WAS A OLDY! SO, WHAT WAS IT? I STATED THAT MORE WATCHES WERE MADE IN WWII BY COMPANIES WITH BETTER MOVEMENTS AND DESIGNS THEN THOSE ISSUED BY THE US OR BRITISH MILITARIZED. THAT MORE 101ST AIR BORNE PURCHASED THEIR WATCHES THEN RECEIVED ONE FROM UNCLE SAM! AND THEN, FROM MY 10,000 ADVERTISING COLLECTION OF IMAGES, I FOUND 200 TO BACK IT UP, ONE IS POSTED ABOVE. GRUEN MAKING AND MARKETING WATCHES DIRECT TO THE SERVICE PERSON YOU SEE, A 101ST SGT. NAMED JONES [LITERALLY] BUYS A GRUEN. THE PRIVATES SEE IT AND OOGLE AND GOOGLE IN WWII FASHION. ON THEIR LEAVE OR PASS, THEY STROLL A STREET AND COME UPON A WATCH AND JEWELRY SHOP. IN THE WINDOW IS JONE’S WATCH! WITHIN 9 MONTHS 1000 JONES WATCHES ARE ON THE PACIFIC BEACHES OF PELELIU
3- WHEN I WROTE THAT AFTER THE 1905 DEFEAT OF RUSSIA BY JAPAN, HATTORI BEGAN TO SEND HIS MINIONS ACROSS THE GLOB AND BY 1917HATTORIE WAS USING SWISS AND AMERICAN MOVEMENTS IN THEIR WATCHES AND THEN THEY ACTUALLY BEGAN TOP BUILD MOVEMENTS THAT MIMICKED THESE AMERICAN AND SWISS MOVEMENTS TO THE POINTY THAT PARTS COULD BE EXCHANGED AND WORK. WELL, THAT WAS A 9 MONTH BAN… AND NOW FOR THE FINALE .. WE ARE GOING TO LEAD YOU INTO THE GREATNESS OF THIS HERE WWII 17J [BRITISH VERSION WAS 15J] MINERVA TIME PIECE. THE SAME MINERVA THAT SUPPLIED LITERALLY, A HALF MILLION TIMERS, CHRONOGRAPHS, DECK WATCHES AND WRIST WATCHES TO THE GERMANS. WHICH, BTW PROVED THE QUALITY OF THE MINERVA BRAND. 4- THOUGH SOME DIALS SHOULD NEVER BE RESTORED, THE VAST MAJORITY SHOULD BE RESTORED: … FOR EVERY ONE DIE HARD THAT WANTS THE OLD AND WORN ORIGINAL DIAL, THERE ARE 20 WHO WOULD LOVE TO HAVE A RESTORED VERSION AND PAY MORE FOR IT… …. RESTORED VINTAGE WATCHES ARE PRETTY RARE. WHEN YOU HAND DOWN ONE OF MY RESTORED VINTAGE TIME PIECES 10, 20, 30, YEARS OR SO FROM NOW, WELL, WHICH ONE WILL BRING THE MOST CASH… KEPT ALL OF THIS 25K

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& DIAL I ATTEMPT TO RETAIN ORIGINAL DIALS AS ORIGINAL. YET I DO NOT PROSCRIBE TO THE NOTION THAT THE ORIGINAL, NO MATTER THE CONDITION, INCREASES THE VALUE. WHILE I DO NOT HAVE TIME TO TRULY EXPLAIN THE REASON HERE, IT IS AVAILABLE ON 5 OF OUR 10 GSW COMMUNITY WATCH WEBSITES. . ADDITIONALLY , I NEVER, NEVER,. NEVER CLAIM A DIAL IS ORIGINAL UNLESS IT IS. WHY? AM I SO DOG ON HONEST MY NOSE GROWS WHEN I TELL A LIE? NO! HECK NO. I CAN LIE WITH THE GREATEST LIARS IF I CHOOSE… THE FACT IS, IN THE REAL WORLD, RESTORED DIALS ARE PURCHASED 15 TO EVERY 1 ORIGINAL. THUS, I HAVE TO MAKE THE DECISION ON WHAT TO KEEP AND WHAT TO LEAVE ON THE CASE [MY PUN MIND YOU] OF A TRULY VALUABLE TIME PIECE, SAY THE LAST 2 PATEK WATCHES I RESTORED, OR THE 18K PATEK TIFFANY W/TIFFANY SIGNED MOVEMENT, CASE, AND DIAL. WAIT ONE SECOND. I DO NOT DESIRE TO FORGET THIS THOUGHT. NOT ALL DIALS THAT ARE ORIGINAL WERE ACTUALLY ORIGINAL TO THE DIAL ON A WATCH. WHAT I AM SAYING IS, I BUY DIALS. I JUST PURCHASED AN OMEGA DIAL, WITH MOVEMENT AND CASE BACK CONTAINING WWII TRENCH ART AND A BADGE. WOW IT IS. BUT BUT I HAVE NOT THE CASE OR AS IT IS CALLED BEZEL. SO I AM LOOKING FOR ONE. WHEN I FIND AND INSTALL MY PARTS I WILL SELL IT. IS THIS A FRANKEN WATCH? NO@ IT WILL BE AN ORIGINAL WWII OMEGA BLAH BLAH BLAH. I WILL LIST THE FACTS. FOR THE CASE HAS TO BE FOR THE DIAL, MOVEMENT AND CASE BACK ORIGINAL. HERE ME? READ ME? IT WILL BE ORIGINAL, SOLD AS ORIGINAL AND APPRAISED AS ORIGINAL, OF COURSE I WILL LIST NEW OLD CASE/BEZEL. SO, HOW DO WE MAKE A PATEK 29K WATCH LOOK NEW WHEN THE PRICE OF 20K WILL BE 10K WITH OUT THE DARN CRACKED AND BEAT UP DIAL? MAN, THIS CASE [PUNNY TOO] MEANS REMOVING THE DAMAGED DIAL, WRAPPING IT UP FOR SAFE KEEPING, AND CREATING A NEW OLD DIAL IN MINT CONDITION –WITH EXACT FONTS, PLACEMENT, ET AL– THAT IS HOW ONE KEEPS THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS. WHY LIE, CHEAT, STEAL AND BURN….. WHEN IT IS SOLD THE INVESTOR HAS BOTH YES. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I MORE THAN LIKELY DID NOT, AND AM NOT, THE FIRST TO PROSCRIBE THIS ENTITY. BUT, AS A SELF-TAUGHT EVERYTHING, IT CAME TO ME IMMEDIATELY BECAUSE THAT IS THE ONLY WAY TO ENJOY A TIME PIECE WHILE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF HAVING THE ORIGINAL DIAL LOCKED UP AND SAFE.. OR IN A SAFE? PUNNY ALSO?..

THE SUCCESSFUL MANIAC
Dear goldsmithworks,
I cannot read the info on the dial plate to see the manufacturers stamp? Its rare to see the dial plate side and movement ID books almost always show the setting pieces, not the dial view.
MOVEMENT ID BOOKS DO NOT SHOW DIALS NOR PROVE ANY MARKS. ON 39 WWII ERA MINERVA RESTORES, THEY WERE ALL DIFFERENT.
Reilluminated is not a term Im familiar with? Does this mean adding lume to the hands and dial dots but not reprinting the dial?
IS THIS GUY FOR REAL?
ILLUMINATING A DIAL MEANS ADDING RADIUM, TRITIUM, OR LUMINOVA [I.E. LUMINATION] OR SOME OTHER MATERIAL TO THE NUMBERS, DOTS, AND/OR MARKERS AND HANDS TO MAKE THEM GLOW IN THE DARK. WHEN THE LUMINATION IS DEAD, YOU RE-ILLUMINATE TO RESTORE ILLUMINATION .. HENCE, RE-ILLUMINATE….
This dial is clearly not one used by MINERVA.
35000 PICTURES OF MY RESTORATIONS ARE ONLINE, EVEN IF I WERE A DUMMY, THAT MANY PICS I MUST EQUATE TO MORE THAN A BOOK?? 39 OF THESE ARE WWII ERA MINERVA. .TWO STYLES IN WHITE TWO IN BLACK. ONE STYLE NUMBERS WERE ILLUMINATED, THE OTHER HAD NONE, AND SOME HAD DOTS. ALL HAD DIFFERENT STAMPS, NUMBERS, SCRIBING ON DIAL BACKS. IT HAS BEEN PROVED THAT MINERVA FARMED OUT DIALS. DEPENDING ON RUNS, THERE COULD BE NUMBERS. I HAVE YET TO EVER SEE A BOOK THAT COVERED THESE FACTS.
Yes people running forums can be a bit overreactive at times.
