Help identifying AS watch

[Daniel123]

Hi, Sorry guys got another movement from same batch that I’m struggling to identify. The movement is marked AS but no calibre no. anywhere to be found, I’ve been going through Ranfft but no luck. It doesn’t help it’s incomplete.

For what it's worth it looks similar to the AS 490 you'll find towards the bottom of this page: https://www.vintagewatchstraps.com/movements.php (???).

What's the diameter?

These two look quite similar, the first is 11 1/2"', the second 10 1/2"'.

Hello Daniel  I think the BESTFIT books 1 & 2 would be a great help to you in the future. Old Hippy put them on the site some time ago under  Meadiafire  they can be found using the search function in the upper right of the home screen.  I have just checked them out and are still working. you are able to down load both parts .a usefull reference. Also I am sure AndyHull did the same with an OCR version which makes searching for information easier      have a search.

Thanks the 10 1/2 looks spot on, very jealous of your bestfit book in photo

Yes the bestfit books are near the top of my purchase list once I start getting paid again  I missed the free downloads it looks like they have stopped. But I’ll buy the pdf or see what eBay has them
