as 922 question

[Peladoro]

Hello all!

I've been repairing a Magnat brand watch with an AS 922 movement and i need to replace the balance...hard to find parts for this older movement. Does anyone know of a compatible alternative?

 

thanks for any help

Check ranfft link above, usually he will list all other calibers in the family but doesnt seem like there is any for this movement. Normally you want to swap a balance wheel from the same caliber movement  but in this case you may have to look at another AS. I would be sticking within the pre 1945 date range and look for AS that is 10.5 ligne, most likely balances could be the same. There is a link to all AS calibers below and there are others like the cal 912 for example that may work. You can search ebay for a schild movements and find one. or search 10.5 ligne movements. I work on old swiss trench watches so sometimes Iam in the same boat as you. Thats why now i prefer american movements, 100 year old parts can still be sourced. Swiss had wayyy too much going on during the ASAUG Ebauches days, and finding parts are extremely difficult.

I'll check cousins and believe me I checked ranftt site... bookmark. There's no comparison made like for instance Bulova has AS similarity. Thanks guys
