Hello! New here and looking for a little advice. My wife has a replica Tank and the movement seemed to die and I made matters worse when trying replacement batters and broke the battery tab because I am dumb. Regardless, the replacement batteries (when the tab was intact) still did not run the watch so I think the movement needs to be replaced. Can anyone point me to someone that can help? Greatly appreciate it!
Title says it all. Please let me know what you may have. Stacked, flex, etc…

Black Pilot Custom Urushi #30
Fine Medium - I would rate this as an A2. I have been writing with this one and think that the #30 pilot nib is just softer than I prefer. Comes with a box and converter. Passing on a deal for $675. Sold
Omas 361 Bronze Arco
I believe this is from the late 1940's and is also in very good shape. I carved a new cork for this pen as the old one had degraded and was not sealing and now the pen works great. If you are not familiar with the 361 it is worth a read:

I would again rate this as a D as the cork is not original, but it is in good cosmetic condition and fully functional. I would note that when the piston is fully tightened the arco does not align, I am not sure if this can be adjusted or not. $1000
Eversharp Faceted Oxford + additional parts pen
133mm capped, 119 uncapped This has a medium nib that does not have a k marking so I assume it is steel. The pen is a lever filler and the hardware shows its age but the lever actuates and the sac seems to be working – it draws and holds ink and writes. The cap is marked “Eversharp Made in USA” The celluloid on this pen is pretty amazing. Condition is D. I believe this is from the 1930’s. This will also include another very similar pen for parts only – there is a crack in the cap of the parts pen. Pricing this at $125
Wahl Eversharp Doric M 14k nib
118 capped 105 uncapped. This is in a blue celluloid and has an ink window (not sure how function this would have been considering it is a lever filler). Initials have been engraved on the clip. This appears to have had a gold seal about the clip but it is no longer present. As the pen above the hardware shows its age but the lever actuates and the sac seems to be working – it draws and holds ink and writes. The lever does not completely seat but is only off by a small amount. The clip is slightly bent up away from the pen. It is marked “Wahl Eversharp Made in USA”. Condition is D and I believe it is an excellent candidate for restoration. I believe this pen is from the 30’s or 40’s. Pricing this at $165.

I bought these pens in a lot and wanted to clean them up and see if I could get them writing. These two were the easiest of the lot to as after a good clean they both are operational and write. These pens are not restored but function and write. Both of these I would rate as D – Write as they are and would probably be pretty fantastic if restored.

My second Dorsal Fin arrived this past Friday and I think it may be my favorite! The medium cursive italic nib is just icing on the cake!

Black Pilot Custom Urushi #30
I recently found deals on two different Black Pilot Custom Urushi #30s (FM and M) and was going to keep the one that I liked best, well I like both so this is for either/or - I am keeping the other the one. Both of these pens are in great shape.
CU - Medium - I would rate this as B+in excellent shape
CU - Fine Medium - I would rate this as an A2
I only have one box and will include that if wanted. Passing on a deal for $675 SOLD
Namiki Nippon Art Pine Bonzai M 14k
Neat little pen and a great writer. Don't know the history but I would rate this a C+/B. Asking $400 for this, pen only SOLD
Scribo La Dotta Yamanaka Onsen F 14k
This is a fantastic pen and I am only moving this one because I have an equally awesome pen backfilling it. I am the original purchaser and have the kimono and packaging that the pen came with. I would rate this pen as a B. Asking $1750 for this one, if you are interested in an additional nib for the pen I also have a B 14k nib unit as well I would bundle for an additional $200. SOLD

I carved a new cork for this pen as the old one had degraded and was not sealing and now the pen works great. If you are not familiar with the 361 it is worth a read - a really cool idea: https://www.tenpen.it/article/omas-361-post-war-innovation .

I would note that when the piston is fully tightened the arco does not align, I am not sure if this can be adjusted or not. $1100
SOLD Omas Vest Pocket Bronze Arco - I believe this was made in the 1940's and is in amazing shape considering its age. I do not know the history of the pen but the sack/filling system currently works. The feed/nib fit in the section well but you can coax side to side movement of the nib, I have not really messed with it much. I would say the nib is soft and fine. $700 I would rate this as a D as I do not know the history of the pen and it seems to likely that the sac has been replaced but please see the pictures, cosmetically the pen is excellent and it is functional.
SOLD Visconti Homo Sapiens Bronze Age 23kt Palladium M Nib - I was told by the previous owner this was tuned by Mike Masuyama and it writes beautifully! I would rate this as a B. This pen is wet writer and I although the nib is a M it writes like a broad in my opinion. Comes with a visconti case that has seen better days. $650
