Ok, here goes.

Going to leave measurements here so I don't lose them [emoji4]

Total Inner diameter - 30mm

Depth from caseback rim to dial rim - 6mm

Stem tube tap - 1mm

The caseback is a puzzle.

The ones I have the caseback lip fits inside the case rim. This one is different.

Hi ro63rto,

 

Try a ronda 515 or a 517 if you want also a day. You will need a ring to keep it seated. Plastic works for the ring...I'm a little in a hurry right now but wanted to drop this line before I go. There is also ready made rings that can be customized to fit. Then you will need a fitting dial and hands...plenty of fun ahead!

 

Cheers,

 

Bob

You need to now the high from the dial to the center of the stem . This is called the T . You could measure it if you measure from the point where the dial rest to the center of crown tube . Takes of the dial thickness . Then look if the movement has the same T at http://www.ranfft.de/cgi-bin/bidfun-db.cgi?10&ranfft&0&2uswk.Lot of work i now but there is a help in the advanced to the right .

    • RichardHarris123: Hello and welcome from Leeds, England.  I have family all over Australia, went as £10 poms Thanks Richard. Hope you’re able to visit your family here and that they’ve all done well 🙂 My relatives arrived from England in the 1790s transported on the ‘Second & Third Fleets’—a story of timber sailing ships, of convicts and doing well in this huge Country of Australia. When I visited the UK in the 1980s, I was too young to comprehend the depth and breadth of its history…  Best wishes, Mike William Chapman, my 4th great Grandad’s charges, at age 23 read at the Old Bailey; sentenced to 7 years of transportation to Sydney.
    • The whole process and the progress are closely observed, it's hand-driven and very controlled. I can't see the "danger", unless you are watching the TV while doing it. As you could have read, and in this quote "wheel" is the balance-wheel.
    • Have you got the pallet fork installed in the movement when you see the train move when using the setting works? As nevenbekriev said, without the pallet fork to lock the train, the behaviour you are describing is normal. If this is happening with the pallet fork installed, you have a problem in the gear train, it should be immobile when the pallet fork is locking the escape wheel.  The fit of the circlip above the pinions on that wheel is crooked in your pictures, it should sit flat up against the upper pinion as in Marc’s picture.  Hope that helps, Mark
    • Hi I got a Jaeger LeCoultre K911 movement, where one of the stems was broken. Part no. Should be 401.  Im based in Europe and tried Cousins but its discontinued. They except to get stem in stock for cal. K916 but will that work? Or Is there a way out to join the ends?
    • The part was how it fell out of the movement - the train wheel bridge wasn’t screwed in.    I’ll probably dismantle the part, if I can, to work it out.    The train of wheels ran fine - it was only once the keyless works were installed I noticed the problem.
