I know it's a crappy movement but I like the case & "dial"

 

Can anyone id the movement?

Its stamped Bader Ltd but Ranfft doesn't list it so I presume it's a rebranded movement.

Its a Baumgartner 866. The reason it is not advancing is because of the drive gear is riveted onto the barrel of the mainspring, and it needs to be tightened in order to drive the hour and minute hands. This is a characteristic problem that is unique to this type of movement in that it does allow the seconds to continue ticking because that gear is directly driven. I'll follow up later with more info.

I'm ordering a new barrel lid from CousinsUK. That should solve the issue, right?

Maybe same problem as i have with a BFG 866 digital . It the hour jumper that is broken. doesn't run either.  it's the part in the middle. Should be twice as long. It's sits inside the minute disc and flips the hour disc when it comes to 59 minutes. was thinking of making the part. But don't know how it should look. So i bought a donor movement. fingers crossed it's okay. Haven't seen any spare parts for the digital jump hour movement except the usual like balance and wheels. DSC00199.thumb.JPG.903b5cd9dfd2dfa6ee4257ad9c3d6f32.JPGDSC00198.thumb.JPG.8d7499537c330718f7a6a8b3fe23d12b.JPGDSC00197.thumb.JPG.59c543589b05fba1bc6a89652a64b6fe.JPG

The drive gear is riveted to the lid of the barrel, so yeah that should do it. You could also take a broach or a staking set placed within the gear opening and give it one tap. It usually tightens up enough to drive the hour/minute hand, but loose enough to allow setting the time.

Thanks but I'm nowhere near handy enough to warrant splashing out on a staking set. The lid is only £6 so I'll just order that once the watch gets here and I've had a chance to take a close look.

Quick question
Is it the lid I actually need or the barrel itself?
I want to add it to other bits I'm ordering to take advantage of the postage. If I get it wrong and have to reorder it will end up costing me loads more, comparatively.

Is it only the digital 866 that has this gear on the barrel or does all 866 have them?

Mostly seen in jump hour, but I've seen this same barrel in at least one non-jump hour with BFG 866.

Panic over, looks like I got it right

Hmm, my order from Cousins just got here and there's something not right, apart from it is part plastic.

The small cog looks to be a lot lower profile than the original brass version. You can barely see it in the photo. Hope it will work.

Balls!!
While attempting to remove the barrel lid, the mainspring shot out and smacked me on the visor emoji35.png

I give up with this. Gonna look for someone to rebuild it for me.

I ordered two  Cousins mainsprings for a Landeron and both broke after a few hours. When I tried getting a refund, they refused because the mainsprings were from  some other supplier and they could not return them....and so I would have to take the loss, not them. That was the last order I made to Cousins. 

Ok for next time, place  one side of a thin brass tweezers between the barrel edge and the lid to keep that spring down, then open it. I have more barrels and lids if you need one...and I might have springs too. Have to check.

Don't think the MS is damaged, just my visor [emoji4]
Don't think I lost anything. I'll try and find someone willing to work on a pin lever. Really want this on my wrist.

Most watchmakers will not work on a pin lever because although they are simple in construction, they can be challenging to assemble because of the inexpensive method of construction. Before I learned how to do complete overhauls myself, I asked (via email) a well known watchmaker on the east coast if he would overhaul my 17 jewel Sicura jump hour. "That's not the kind of watch I'd want to work on..." was the reply.

Watch-bias and snobbery can be pervasive in some circles.

    • Getting back to the issue which is us guys repairing or just enjoying horological exploits. The big worry now is how sound is Cousins as company going forward. The of cost if this 8 year legal battle will be astronomical. Cut backs will happen noticed already how the Cousins catalogue is half its size this year. The main supplier going out of business will hit the UK horological community in a big way.    On the Brexit issue it was about a sovereign country being able to make its own laws and trade with any country in the world. I cannot see what was wrong with this. For those who wish to re join the cost would be very high indeed.
    • Yes, it's the same (old) song and it's getting worse & worse;  
    • 🤔 leaving the EU meant that UK was no longer part of the convention and have already been turned down an independent reapplication. I'm pretty sure courts have to be held in Switzerland in this case. There will be a lot more watches stashed away in draws  tbh, folk wont be able to afford to maintain them. Cheap watches will be bought and top end watches by folk with plenty of cash that can pay for service and repair. The expensive once in a lifetime gifts and everything else inbetween will be at the forgotton when they stop working. I know i was being a numpty, get used to it 😄 Anybody that knows will boycott them, but besides repairers who will know. Nope will never buy one, i made that decision as soon as i learnt about this. 
    • although not in this case.  It was the Lugano Convention and its deficiencies that allowed a Swiss court decision in the first place.  This isnt really a Brexit issue at all.  A decision that affects both the EU and the UK should never have been heard in Switzerland. I bet the authorised service centres in the UK are pretty pleased.  It's a massive shame, though; I believe watch owners should be able to choose to have their watch serviced by whoever they trust.
    • Hi guys I think that old hippy is correct, it opens the gates for china to manufacture aftermarket spare parts. considering that they already do work on behalf of the Swiss I guess this decision gives the a little more legitimacy to tool up and I am sure they will take advantage of the situation either with or without the blessing of the Swiss watch industry  Having read about the protectionist machinations of the Swiss in the history of Europe they were the only ones to get fat at everybody else’s expense. I think the outcome could have been guessed at but ,  fair play to Cousins UK for standing up to them.  Now the question,  will everybody boycott Swiss watches and Swatch, no way they will still fill their coffers.  Me I stick with the Japanese once renowned for cheap shitty watches who came good through industrial effort and don’t for get the Russians that most dismiss as low grade crap. Wouldn’t buy a swatch product ever how about you all.? a
