Pierpont Watch Co Incabloc Restore

so here's what I'm observing on first look is that the watch will the balance spins but the center wheel should advance it just kind of goes back and forth I don't think there's any power on this whatsoever my theory is that the spring is broken you can wind it and wind it and wind it and no power really comes on to it otherwise it looks like it's in pretty good shape there's no obvious breaks to any of the jewels all the screws look like they're in pretty good condition the stem release screw it looks like it's definitely been worked on in excess before it's kind of scratched up a little bit so I have a suspicion that the stem and crown potentially were replaced or worked on at some point there's nothing wrong with it that I can tell but I'm not going to take this much more apart until after I'm back from my trip swapping the caseback does show that there's just some basic surface grime build up on the watch nothing too outrageous or unexpected but in that I don't see any signs of water intrusion into the watch that's pretty good hope so this one

So there's actually two screws missing potentially. I can't mark them up in the microscope due to the picture covering up the annotation area but whatever. I'll fix that in software. I just want to make a note. I've taken out this ring and the only thing holding it in is the ring. So it can shift around a lot without those screws in. Don't know why they're missing or if they're supposed to be there.

I ended up using the yellow screwdriver to manipulate the stem screw to try and get the stem out.

Super nice dial, I like it a lot. I wish I had a better tool to check the lume to see if it was ready or not. I'm not going to mess with it too much right now, because it's in good shape but it does have a little bit of evidence that there's some radium burning going on.
