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. ?

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 🙃

      Pocket watch escape wh

      By Bonefixer · Posted

      The wheels turned fine. I set the escape wheel in the epoxy when it had just ‘skinned’ and wasn’t set, made sure it spun with the 4th wheel, and let it set.    After cleaning I assembled the barrel and wheel train - all fine. Moving the barrel the escape wheel spun freely. I put a bit of 9010 in my epoxy setting.    It went wrong when I put the pallet fork in. It wasn’t seated right (no jewels) and the escape wheel  knocked a pallet jewel out. I have no idea how to reset a pallet jewel - epoxy again? I’m not spending any more time on this one - it’s missing hands and the front half of the case anyway, and I have more watches ready to put on the bench.

      No John, we don't want Mark to change anything, we are just scared of losing a brilliant forum and losing contact with each other.  As pointed out, this forum is full of knowledge and I for one,  consider the regulars friends. I would hate to lose contact with you and the others.   PS, this forum is really important to me.

      Epilame / Fixodrop

      By JohnR725 · Posted

      one little minor problem with your chemistry experiment here which is what exactly is epilam? In other words is it an exact substance with the chemical you specify or is it a term? For instance originally it was steric acid either dissolved in some sort of solvent or it was applied by vaporizing it. Then now it's all kinds of different things the watch companies all have different ideas there's a whole bunch of patents. So is not always an exact substance.   let me snip out a image from the patent that I attached up above. Notice I highlighted something it seems to disagree with your evaluation.

      I guess You had to try, as it would be hard to sleep without that try, but, I know the result before the experiment... As I told before, the friction will be so big that the wheel will not turn. The pivots have to be thin and polished - the bigger the number of the wheel (2th, 3gh, 4th...), the thinner the pivot. What You are trying to do is possible, but forming the new thin pivot must be done on lathe. Thus the wheel will get shorter, but can have new pivot without the drilling for normal standard repivoting. Then piece of brass can be soldered under the pivot hole in the bridge and new hole drilled in it to form the new bearing.  Well, this way is not the recommended one, not quite correct, but it is possible to do for the excersize... When I say lathe, lathe may be verry simple, someting like turns, but made of what one has in reach of his hands. If You want to try, I will try to guide

      yes by all means let's gather up our weapons tar feathers find the nearest tree in case Mark is not agreeable to our terms on our demands and storm his Castle. I don't quite understand what you're trying to do here? In other words you want Mark to somehow guarantee that the group will live on forever no matter what? You want Mark to somehow change his business model of what is trying to do or should we just take the group away from him? oh and is quite possible that Mark never realized that his discussion group would take on a life of its own. That the members of the group would like to continue on forever.
