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 🙃

      AS 1475 REFURBISH (Recalled to life)

      By mikepilk · Posted

      I've just finished refurbishing a Memostar Alarm with AS 1931 movement (same as 1945 but with date and running at 21600). I was also surprised how many parts are available at Cousins. Like you, I was missing the alarm stem (Cousins stock them) and I needed new crowns. It's a nice simple movement for an alarm, easier to service than a Seiko Bell-Matic. BTW I made a note in my Servicing spreadsheet: "Pull out winding stem before removal".  It may have just been wear on my movement, but I found that the yoke could move out of the clutch if the stem was removed in the normal position (like some ETAs).  You might find this interesting

      AS 1475 REFURBISH (Recalled to life)

      By LittleWatchShop · Posted

      I picked up this alarm watch at a flea market several months ago and recently decided to investigate.  I am not finished, but well on my way. As you can see, there was significant water damage.  Running these parts through my L&R cleaner was not enough to clean them, so I did manual cleaning with one-dip and cotton swab (the dense pointed kind).  The wig-wag was stubborn--the two gears would not release from the plate.  I soaked it in Kroil overnight and that did the trick. There was some rust on the balance staff, but not actually on the pivots themselves.  Nevertheless, I chucked it a step-chuck on my lathe and burnished the pivots. The watch is running and I have confirmed that the alarm drive train is functioning.  Since I am missing a stem for the alarm, I have not done the final assemble of the alarm components.  Surprisingly, there are lots of parts available for this movement on Cousins.  I will probably get a couple of stems and maybe some other parts that I deem necessary. The watch is running at weak amplitude (about 190) and shows some poising issues.  I will work on that. The last two pictures are after partial reassembly.

      Exactly!  It may not really be a joke, but the actual truth.

      The movement is placed on the base and the centre screw is raised until it contacts and supports the centre pinion, thus stopping the centre pinion from sinking in when the second hand is pressed on.
