Got this as a sweetener on a job lot.  Nothing on the Internet about Oriso.  F in a shield under the dial, nothing under the balance. Doesn't run but the balance swings well when blown, hopefully just a service, it is filthy.

Oris used some silly variations of their name but this movement isn't anything like i have. They are always marked Oris and if a variation then OWC in a sheid the shape of a bat. Dial looks a bit pitted mate, do you think it will clean up ?

I should of added the dial side photo. Says 294 but looks more like a 335 _ 8.

The train bridges and pallet cock is different rich but this may be a ranfft error or a 294 alteration at a later or earlier manufacture. The key less works are showing the same as yours a 294 or very similar. You are showing a broken yoke on yours. ☹

It does look very much like the 335 on the ranfft database. The dial plate is flatter on yours but everything else seems to match up. ?

Yes I've noticed the broken yoke. 

Nice little movement

Morning mate. How you doin ? I couldnt quite match up as there seems to be differences on both calibres. The 335 does look to be the closest, although yours seems to have a flat dial plate where as the 335 has a bevel around  the edge. Strange ? Movement manufacturers eh 🤷‍♂️ never straight forward.  I hope you have some luck tracking down the yoke 🤞. I had a joblot of around 35 turn up yesterday morning, some real pigs among them by the look. I'm going to be very busy lol. And some toys coming tomorrow, its about time i got my finger out and did some repair 😂

Get some pictures posted. Good luck.  The 335 does look the closest.

I will do. At a brief glance some of them look like total shite. I did get a bit carried away on sunday night, i had money burning a hole in my pocket. I'm hoping the stock of around 1000 crystals some staffs and stems and the few vintage tools ive bought are a much better buy. 🤞

Where do I find parts sheets? 

I usually look on the Documents Downloads in Cousins https://www.cousinsuk.com/document

or here https://watchguy.co.uk/cgi-bin/files

but there aren't and 29* or 33* movements listed.

The Swiss part number for the setting lever spring+bridge is 445

You can find them listed on ebay for the above movements.

I think i may have got just a little carried away. I did actually have about 25 of those already. Ive just had a good look through, there are about 10 that i havent  heard of.

Post them.  Carried away, I never do that,  Hehe. I have lots of old, ladies watches, tiny, no one wants them any more.

This is the worst of the bunch and about as basic as a mechanical watch can get.

And this is probably the best.  A gorgeous Venus with beautiful lugs, i said LUGS. She had a few issues, one of which is a broken balance staff top pivot, which I'm hoping isnt going to be a bugger to find. Or will be setting me about learning to repivot. But she needs to be working, like all beautiful women. That sounded wrong but you know what i mean 🙃

Lovely watch, which calibre is it?

    • What works for me (waiting for the villagers to assemble with torches and pitchforks) is to put a liberal (in watch terms) spot of 9010 on one of the pins of the pin pallet, this seems to improve amplitude and beat error.
    • Non-magnetic is a poor description of such a hairspring. A better description would be unmagnetisable hairspring. There are metals and alloys that are attracted to magnets, but don’t become magnetised themselves. A hairspring made out such a material will be attracted to magnetised tweezers, but will not become magnetised. These hairsprings can be disrupted by being in close proximity to a magnet, but the disruption will cease the moment the magnet is moved away. These are hairsprings that could conceivably be disrupted by a magnetised hairspring stud. Best Regards, Mark
    • More than enough. Here's mine at the height I work at. I think the working distance with the included 0.5x Barlow lens is about 9".   So yes, that halves the magnification. The full story is the objective lens goes from 0.7x to 4.5x. The eyepieces are 10x, giving you the advertised magnification of 7x-45x. However the working distance is unacceptably short, so it comes with an 0.5x Barlow lens, reducing the magnification range to 3.5x-22.5x, but giving you a good working distance. What I did was buy a pair of Extreme Widefield 20x Eyepieces for when I need more magnification. You keep your high working distance, but get your 45x magnification back, at the cost of some width of field.
    • Modern ones after blue steel, invar, elinvar and nivarox , the shiny one are not supposed to become magnetised. But i have had them jump to tweezers. And i dont really understand the comment that what can be magnetised is the stud carrier and rate regulator and they can attract the hairspring ? If the hairspring is non magnetic then how can it be attracted to something else thats become magnetise, its non magnetic , that doesn't really make sense to be ?
    • Does it say 17 jewels on the dial or on the movement ?
