Identication


Recommended Posts

Hello to all, I was given a watch to repair from a friend its about a1920s ladies watch I haven't identified the movement yet its just got number 20 under the balance and Swiss made on the barrel bridge. Anyway the hairspring was a mess so I got my tweezer and hairspring manipulation tools out and as soon as I removed the balance from cock the stud broke off. So I worked the hairspring after about 2 hours I then restudded it to see how it was going. No good too short lost about 4mm of the end. Is anyone able to identify this low jeweled movement?. That's a pen in picture 5 next to the hairspring

Large family so a HS off of any member would vibrate with this. Don't know if any member did beat more than 18000 though.

Not much around in the way of donor movements ,but I found a 6 jewel as 340 for 20 dollars with a good balance that ticks for a bit so I will whip the hairspring of that . The 341 is a thinner movement so I went with the 340 . It is a big family of movements .

    • You know it H Ours was scrapped early 60s. Nothing wrong with joining the army H , i would have love the physical and discipline side of it, but i can't follow or be lead by numpties.
    • That's exactly why you need to exercise, or you'll meet with an untimely death! 😉 Well, good thing you weren't born in my neck of the woods then as you would have no choice. Back in the day when it was time for my service (early 80s) this small country could mobilize 800,000 soldiers in a few days, and mobilization supplies with modern weapons and munitions were everywhere and we had an air force second to none. Then beginning in the 90s it was scrapped because our politicians decided that Russia would become a Western democracy. In discussions with colleagues, friends and acquaintances where I mentioned I thought it was imprudent to scrap our capacity for self-defense, I was laughed at. I wonder if anyone of those people would laugh today.
    • Hi there, first time for me to ask for help since I joined the forum. I’m working on a Seiko 6138-0040 for a friend. I’ve already done a few 6138B’s, so not completely new to me. This one is a bit different, with lots of gremlins. Sheared off dial feet screw, case back ring missing, movement glued in the case etc. On top of that, on of the eccentrics  also sheared off when trying to adjust the hour recording wheel stop lever spring.  On the parts list, there is only 1 mention of an eccentric, namely the 823.619. Unfortunately it is unclear if it is  the one I need, or if it’s the eccentric for the hour hammer..  If it is the right one, I can order one from Cousins, if not I probabely have to source a main plate.  Does anybody know which eccentric the 823.619 is? Thanks so much!
