I recently changed the battery on this tiny ladies watch & thought I would post it, the hour hand is just a small point and is virtually impossible to read with the naked eye ! :blink:

That one would have been a bit fiddly for you. I hardly see the point of these watches when you need a jeweller's loupe to read the time. I was looking at a watch on the net earlier today, wind up mechanical fitted into a dress ring!

That sure is a small one and as you say needs good eyesight to be able to read it.

Definitely small, both...and what do you say about the bigger watches with small eyes, so busy that everything is super small? I suppose the designer is so used to have a loupe on he/she doesn't realize we, normal mortals, usually leave it at home!

  You have a rocking bar set and wind design chief, still usable for identification. We just need the plate diameter now.

  Thanks Geotex, From what I can see the keyless works on mine is completely different to those in the photo, I had a bit of a Google and it looks like it's called a rocking bar?? I can't seem to find a single match online though. As far as the setting lever screw goes, you've just explained what I'm doing wrong and why it was probably left out in the first place. It needs to go in before the bridge 🙃. That's why the hole isn't big enough because it's designed to be smaller to stop the screw falling out until the bridge is removed. Thank you for that! I'll remove the bridge tonight and get it refit.

  The term "digital transistor" is not a term of art--at least in the modern world. A lifetime ago, there was such a thing as DTL (Diode Transistor Logic). Resistors were involved, but I am not aware that they were ever integrated into the transistor package.

  Update: I posted over on NAWCC and it looks like I melted the fine coil wires where they come into the solder lugs. After dropping the heat way down on my iron and being absurdly careful, I have a humming fork!

  Hell0 @nevenbekriev. Thank you for your advice. I have removed the old setting using my staking set--I will keep the KIF spring, since it is still good. I am awaiting the replacement setting, and will update when I do that. In the mean time, I looked at the escape wheel and it looks ok. What do you think?
