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.

      Epilame / Fixodrop

      By Knebo · Posted

      I did that also for a few movements - well, mainly in/around the train jewels. I made big efforts to epilame the mainplate WITHOUT getting Epilame into the Pallet fork jewels (where it's not supposed to be, right?). I made litte barriers with Rodico around that jewel and used drops from a syringe to apply on the rest.  However, I've now stopped doing this. For three reasons: 1. It's a hassle and consumes more of this liquid gold. 2. I didn't see the need when using HP1000/HP1300 lubricants and grease for most part. The two places where I'd use 9010 (i.e. escape wheel and balance) receive Epilame in specific places... or the cap-jewel-setting of the balance suspends the oil sufficiently be capillary action (see my "conflict" about using Epilame on the balance jewels).  3. Lastly, and here I really wonder about yours and others' experiences: I felt that applying Epliame to the train jewels left them looking hazy (borderline dirty) compared to the (painstakingly achieved) sparkly clean results of my cleaning process. I just can't help but think that the Epilame residuals would mix with the oil and cause more friction/wear. I don't know.    simple: it'll stay there. It won't move any further. That's exactly what is happening if you epilame a cap stone. You end up placing the 9010 right on top of the epilame and the oil will sit nicely on that spot.

      Coil for old Seiko Credor -- 4002920

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      There are some parts on Ebay for the seiko 6020A, it may just be a waiting game for someone to strip one down, NOS will be more scarce . K would strip your movement down to the module then start looking at other seiko movement to see if that coil is used, then seek out a seiko part dealer. Also Retrowatches youtube owner Mike may give you some advice try him on his site . He also hangs around amateur watchmaking groups.

      Setting lever spring

      By Waggy · Posted

      I would agree, in order to work harden something you need to exceed it's yield strength when it moves from the elastic zone to the plastic zone and you get permanent deformation and work hardening which is fairly close to its failure point, relatively speaking and dependent on the material/alloy of course. In theory you can load something constantly within its elastic range and not suffer work hardening issues.

      Probably easier to get a complete new movement - but CousinsUK list it as discontinued. Maybe someone on here knows a substitute movement ?

      Any other thoughts on how I can get a replacement coil? Any “hidden” or unknown physical shops (in Australia or elsewhere) that might have them in stock (but not always online)?
