I think you will have better chances by posting front and back pictures of the mov't to identify what it is.

Will also need a picture of the front with the dial removed.

Also you should remove the balance, as the maker marking may be there.

There you have it, FHF 175, Cousins has all the barrel parts. 

If you wonder, the index markings were for timing at the factory, before the timegrapher was invented or universally adopted.

FHF175 says so right on the mainplate.

Typical for an ebauche maker to mark on the place less likely to be seen by a curious watch owner.

      You could try a soft-solder repair on that

      Another 6105 back in action!

      By tIB · Posted

      So I recently picked up a slim 6105 which had a badly damaged dial (posted in another thread). I couldn't really live with that given I had another dial handy, also in not great condition but with added bonus of having a better lume job and actually being fully attached to the dial plate!  So what to do with that damaged dial - I tend to think they should be in watches. Well...  A 6105 mid case and crystal assembly punt arrived from Italy yesterday, which I've frankened back into a working piece with the dial... Damaged dial now sits behind damaged crystal in an original case, currently powered by 6106 (with a 6106 caseback on to reflect this... I've cleaned up the original crystal up to a point, but kept it fairly beaten to distract me from the dial, my markers and it's not very satisfying lume job - it's not awful but it's glossy which I don't like. Also has a 6139 bezel on it for now because that's all I could find - I couldn't live with it naked and don't mind it tbh, though will keep an eye out as ever.  So yes, here you go - another 6105 (almost!) back to life. I'll also keep my eye out for the correct movement and perhaps a better dial in time. Caseback might prove tricky/expensive. I know Frankens aren't to everyone's taste but I do enjoy getting these back into working form. Better a working/worn watch than a sat in parts draws imo. And the good news here is that, thanks to the repro service crown, this is the only one I have I could actually feel safe to swim in!
