Hello, I'm working on a vintage pin set movement. I was really hoping to service the working movement and obtain the missing winding stem but cannot find any symbols or caliber number clues on the movement plates or bridges. Yes, there are numbers but these look like serial numbers. I have added some photos if anybody can help. Having looked at this site, I found my nearest clue from the photo id of this Helvetia General Borgel movement but of course still no exact caliber id. My movement measures 25.35mm (approx 11.25'''). Any ideas? Thanks

Hello Guys I though I'd introduce myself to the forum. I was looking for a hobby for the winter months that involved fixing/re-conditioning things and decided I'd like to give watches a try. The fact it doesn't take up much space and create a mess is a bonus. I'm not sure if I've chosen the right watch to start off with, but it's a Helvetia (working). My knowledge consists of absolutely zero information about watches, so I have a steep learning curve ahead of me. My plan, unless advised otherwise, is to strip down and build it back up. If it still runs, i'll be very proud with myself. Any thoughts on this watch as a place to learn watch repair?
