Please, more info on a Urgos movement UW06144A

I have a clock with an Urgos movement. The model number on the lower right back of the plate is UW06144A and the number to the left of that in the center is A0F2. The clock is a double dial Ramcraft named The Tennessean. The movement has a calendar function with 5 hammers that strike on the 1/4hr and Westminster chime. Any info would be helpful. Thanks

By The Way it would be nice if you could use the introduction heading so we have a little more background and some pictures of the said clock as our Crystal Ball is out of action      cheers

I hope theses pictures will do. Obviously the movement is still in the case. I don’t have the know how to remove the movement for better pictures. It’s a long story, but I have another clock like this that someone unfortunately converted to a quartz movement. I’m trying to find a movement so that I can put it back to original. Any guidance is much appreciated. Thanks

A fairly modern Westminster chime with a platform escapement. If you are thinking of giving it a clean you will need a clock mainspring winder to remove each of the three springs. Doesn't look as if there is any oil in the oil sinks which can and will cause wear, so re-bushing might be needed. These modern movements are not made of good hard brass but of soft brass and the same with the steel. If you are going to strip the movement down and repair it then put it all back I can help you with that. You are going to need some tools which I can advise on what you will need.

    • Here are the pics of the bridge. Looks correct, but as soon as I screw on the rotor, the watch stops. Video here: https://1drv.ms/v/s!ArG5E62RGctxjokY5ws85BzuJLVakA   Pics. Might have figured it out. I have been working on this watch for a while and since I got it as a non runner in a terrible shape, there was no guarantee that parts were proper. I think the main screw that was used on the rotor was too long, so it was stopping the main train. As soon as I fished out a much shorter and larger headed screw, things were good again. Please celebrate with me.  
    • One-dip or naphtha should be safe, but are you sure it isn't magnetized?  I would also check that.  Although, if that balance is from an Elgin 760 0r 761, I would think it would have a hairspring of non-magnetic alloy.
    • Hi, Is there a spell check function available when you are posting ? Regards CJ
    • Hi John I just did a Seiko Lord-Matic a front loader without a split stem, I used a crystal lift to remove it, although I had to have it that tight I though I was going to break the lift before the crystal would budge. So I decided that the press would be a better option as I think crystals with tension rings resist a lot of compressing. I used a crystal press to repalce it and the bezel with no issues, obviuosly a different watch to the Omega. I just took my time and kept inspecting the installation progress bit by bit Regards CJ
    • Hello All, I’m replacing the crystal in an Omega Dynamic, # 165.039, which houses a cal 552, installed through the front of the case. The replacement Sterncreuz crystal is, like the original, with tension ring. I removed the crystal using a compressed air technique to pop it out.  (I have a crystal lift, but I’m always fearful of marking the crystal edges and so avoid using it as much as possible). Now to the replacement -  any tips on putting the crystal back in?  Am I obliged to using my dreaded crystal lift to complete the task, or how about a crystal press?  I’ve put lots of crystals in using a press, but never with the movement in the watch. The thought of using one with a front-loader makes me very nervous, with the fully assembled watch sitting under the press. How would more experienced folks proceed here? Any advice, gratefully received… John Down Under…
