Hi I got this watch in a job lot but I’ve been unable to identify the movement. The only numbers are 411.7 on the plate and 7 under the balance. I like the look of the watch so would like to repair it. Any help identifying the movement would be appreciated. An opinion on the dial would also be appreciated, the crown and lettering look ok to me but I’m certainly no expert. There are service dates on the dial and case but I can only really make out one which is in 1944. thanks -
Search for the barrel diameter vs the length and make sure you have the height correct and strength close (thickness.) -

Its looking like the bike I rode to work on in the 60s although mine had straight bars and mudguards, needed them in the UK, Like the tires though Just finishes the look. Saddle looks comfy not like the razor blades of today, Nice that the sturmey archer is working good Had some sore parts when they slipped up hill, Is the paint work original as it looks in good nick. -

I am looking for a “holed” replacement mainspring (without bridle) for an old fusee pocket watch and a fellow forum member pointed me towards one on the cousins website. https://www.cousinsuk.com/category/filter/mainsprings-by-size-watch-pocket Two issues: First, the spring is simply listed as “non-automatic” and doesn’t say how it is terminated. However...... Second, the spring is substantially longer than the original, the original spring was roughly 410mm and the cousins one is 580mm. Are mainsprings easy to alter, maybe snip the spring down to size and drill or punch a hole in the end?
