Hello,

I came across this 18 size somewhat modernish pocket watch with SR hallmark under the dial. There are no other marks or even a serial number. Number 25 in the cutout on the mainplate where the balance wheel is resting.

The balance cock has AF/SR abbreviations, so it is not purely swis or american.

The dial says Boston.

3/4 plate on the back and the mainspring barrel reminded me of waltham, but the barrel is giant.

Does anyone know what the SR stands for?

If anyone can help with a new stem, sliding pinion and setting lever (you can see it is broken).

The mark "SHR" (Societe Horlogere Reconvilier) is for Reconvilier however Ranfft doesn't show a "25" - they start at "26". In 2018 Ranfft posted re: a 15 jewels/size 18 not yet added to his database on Watchuseek (where there are 4 pages of posts with the word Reconvilier)  A subsequent post refers to a Reconvilier 12.

      Balance cock stud screw

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      As Richard said, this is a really old school trick for joinery.  Cut i strip of paper, might need to be watch paper  around 1 " x 1/2" lay it over a staking block then press the stud screw into and through the edge of the paper upto the head of the screw. You probably wont even need to pull the paper away the head will pull itself through.

      Waltham 6/0 d winding stem

      By ooteenie · Posted

      Hello,  i am looking to source a winding stem (winding arbor) for a waltham 6/0 d movement. I have found some that claim to fit 6/0, 6/0s, 6/0b etc and somealso claim they will also fit the d as well. The d does have hacking which is driven by the stem seating completely. Given some of the costs of these, i was hoping someone would know of any interchangeability with a source, or know a source where a confirmed 6/0 d stem can be had. I am in the US so a US dealer is best.    thanks in advance.

      So great to see and hear- your mum looks great! …my mil had a stroke last summer in the golf course parking lot. I’m flying out tomorrow to visit and play golf. she’s ornery because she can’t get off the tee but I hear she makes up for it on the greens since she’s been putting since a week after her stroke 🧐…
