Good morning,  afternoon or evening everyone hope you are all well and happy. Just looking to id. This cheap swiss movement mostly for curiosity although possibly for finding a broken setting lever for it . There is an OS 66 on the train side.

Thats just the name of the shock jewel setting design Rich. Standard removable  jewel with a chanton top and three prong shock spring. Nice to work on, out oiled and back in within 2 to3 mins.

As a potentially interesting aside...

The Bestfit catalogue when looking for 'Osco' also has 'Parat (see Osco)' and 'Stowa (see Osco)' implying it could be worth in some circumstances looking around against these separate names should someone run into parts difficulty. 

In the case of the 66 however then, as @mikepilkhas pointed out, there is good parts availability so that's unnecessary.

Note that Dugena 1157 = Osco 66 but Cousins deny all knowledge of the Dugena. Poor Dugena. 😲

This is where the bestfit books are use full. Use the indentification section and you can check the setting leverspring design / keyless parts in the relavant section according to size and shape of the movemnt.

Thanks ww. I'm having trouble making the link work. Tempted to buy the books

Cousins have lots of parts for Osco 66 : image.thumb.png.b0f7f5fd0e327d617b26e9b43a37d45e.png

Thanks mike, i can have a look now i know the movement.  I was thinking of having a crack at making the part.

Thank again watchmaker, all these extra notes are very useful. Now starting my own movements lists. Thank you

      Stem removal after fitting hands

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      So leave off the seconds. Stand the movement on its edge, its the dial edge that rests on the pad ( either rubber or cork , something that wont slip ). Use a finger of your left hand to hold the movement upright,  right hand presses the release and flicks out the stem. I do it this way so i can see what I'm under a microscope. But you could hold the movement between two fingers of your left hand, its the right that has to manipulate the stem out by pushing the release and flicking out the stem with  right ring finger nail. Sounds more complicated than it actually is. I guess you could fix a push pin to something solid, then all you need to do is push the release against the pin, leaving your right hand completely free to pull the stem out.

      Try putting everything back together and closing the back cover. I think one of the two springs has to contact the metal casing to ground the casing. So when you press the button, it will touch the contact on circuit board and close the circuit.

      Yes, the seconds hand is the longest and goes almost to the edge of the dial. I can’t quite picture it how you do it on the rubber pad

      A don't think so it leaked or damaged it because the watch itself works it just the buttons ain't working not connecting with the circuit board have taken more pictures of where the buttons makes contact with the circuit board.

      I think what peter means oh is once he has fitted the hands and  checked for  alignment if them and that they dont foul, how does he then hold the movement to remove the stem in order to case up. The dial cannot be laid on a cushion or in a movement holder as the hands will get damaged. This can be quite tricky for a beginner, what i do is  to stand the movement on edge on a rubber pad so it doesn't slip. Hold the top edge with one finger then my dominant hand uses 3 fingers to press the stem release and flick out the stem. See below peter, leave off the second hand as this is the longest and gets caught the most, then fit it once the stem is out. Alternatively place the movement in one of the cup style holders, i imagine this is what they are designed for. They only touch the very edge of the dial.
