it would've been really nice if they had photographed it with a size reference? Otherwise we can look in the bestfit book to see if anything matches the setting parts but I'm not going go through every single size guessing.

The other definite clue would be the balance protection system is not Incabloc?

I have had a look on the bestfit anbd nothing so far,  the shock system is reminicient of a duofix spring but not certain. the quality of the plates and finish , could be Russian,  Have a look ar Dr Ranfft and do a bit of prospecting.   Its difficult not knowing the size of the movement and no marks other than 2838 probably the cal number.

Here's a tutorial of a disassembly of a dg2813 movement

And it shows this picture where the setting lever shape is the same as on the 1st picture I posted.

Hi  Judging from your pictures regarding the plates rtc  and the setting lever assy and the disassemby of the chinese 2813  I would say that the plates are indeed of chinese origin and the setting lever assy is of the same type so I suppose we may assume that they are from a  chinese 2838.   (ETA clone),  Information and tech sheets are all but non existant for the chinese  movements .   Nice detective work there   well done you

      Mike, you have summed it up following the KISS principle.   Tom

      I think this is pretty typical when you have something that crosses many regional and international borders. @Neverenoughwatches yes Rich, that is the common way, learning from our teachers, however terms used in Yorkshire could easily be a lot different for tools, techniques or methods different from Scotland or Somerset. My (long winded) point is it all depends on where you first picked up the terms, if from books American watch terminology differs from English terminology and to a degree Swiss terminology. That also seems to extend to watchmaking schools. Confusing at first starting out but like anything else you get used to it. This will be why our long term members attach a glossary to new users introducing themselves as beginning their journey.    Tom

      Personally I would just replace like for like.Or just polish the old crystal and refit.

      I've also heard it called the "top side" and the dial side the "bottom side", which should make any non-repairer very confused. There are many examples and sometimes it comes down to personal preference. Personally, I like to say "dial train" whereas most other people would use the term "motion works".

      Is magnetism such a major problem that we (as home hobbyists) need to spend $$$ on a fancy demagnetiser? I use one of the cheap blue Chinese demagnetisers (£10 from ebay). It works, and has never failed to demagnetise a movement, or my screwdrivers. Magnetometer - who needs one?  Take a very small screw. If it sticks to the clean part, it is magnetised 🤣
