I recently was able to buy out a watchmaker in South Dakota and also a couple jewelry stores in Arizona.  It is so interesting to see the differences in attitudes towards watchmaking.  The watchmaker in South Dakota repaired watches for over 150 jewelry stores across the nation in the height of his career.  The jewelry store owner/watchmaker from Arizona learned watchmaking at a young age, but concentrated his efforts on selling more jewelry.  Both had top quality tools and parts and both took very good care of them.  I will be selling some tools and parts from these two watchmakers this week and weeks to come.  Here are some specifics about this auction:

Brand: Larink with L&R Motor

Model: 8mm 

Item: Jewelers Watchmakers precision 8mm lathe with variable speed reversing motor and foot control

Condition/Notes: Works as it should.  Please look at pictures to determine cosmetic condition and completeness This lathe comes with what you see Motor Headstock and bed

Dimensions: Lathe bed measures about 12 inches long.  IF you would like to save a little on shipping we can remove the wooden base, but you have to ask or request it before shipping

  Thanks for looking. Please take a look at the watch related in our store. I am telling you this, because we love to combine shipping whenever possible. Every little bit helps! All international bidders must be pre-approved before bidding. Absolutely no shipments to Italy, Poland, or Spain. Thanks for looking and God Bless!
