Help me ID this Syren pocket watch movement?


Recommended Posts

Hello everyone! You can see my introduction here if you'd like to know a little bit about me.

I have a Syren pocket watch movement that I'm using for some practice taking apart and putting back together. I'd love to be able to order some replacement parts for it, but first I need a little help identifying it.

The serial number inside the case is 610281.

Attached are a couple photos of the movement, and a few photos of the interior panels of the case. The only useful markings I can see are "Syren" and "706." I don't seem to get any results for a Syren 706 movement, so I'm not convinced that's the number I'm after. I'll be disassembling the movement later today to search for any other numbers.

Also attached are a couple photos of the interior panels of the watch case.

Thanks in advance!

    • Sorry I'm back again the reason why had   push the jewel out was someone had fitted a wrong one a couldnt get any end  and side shake with the old one ...I'm replacing it.
    • Tah-dah. A mini blow torch to harden it, then quench it and just a lighter held under a brass mainspring barrel that the part sits in to temper, Its important to wipe off any grease from fingerprints with ipa, you might be able to see i missed a bit at the top of the arm. Its a very satisfying process. I now just need to deal with the more difficult repairs, anybody any good at replacing rubbed in jewels ? 🙂
    • No I haven't tried that, I'm just thinking of the most complicated solutions 🤣   Another great idea 👍 All I need to do is hold that little bugger steady while I try and screw it in, without starting to shake, it gets the better of me sometimes but is getting less the more I do 😀  I need to order some bits from Cousins so I decoded to put this to one side until I get a balance screw holder, it may come in useful later on as well. I'm assuming it closes down enough as I don't know the diameter of a balance screw compared to the stud screw, I haven't worked on a movement with balance screws! I'll be getting the cheap one 😆
    • Finally figured out why my hands are so god damn steady. My mum 87 years old , 4 weeks after her stroke and has a macular hole in both eyes, she wiped the floor with me and my lad at a kids stacking chairs toy game. Here she in rehab placing the last chair into position, bloody ' Supergreatgreatgran'  i hope I'm half as fit at her age 🙂
    • Punch a hole in some thin card, push the screw through.  Start the screw and rip the card off
