Picked up this watch in silver case.  It was a bargain, even if just for practice (new guy). Hand measurement is 38mm, only markings are: detached lever, 13 jewels, 6806, argent, and a tiny shield looking mark on inside of case that slightly resembles the london 1877 or 1880 date marks, but no other hallmarks.  6806 on face side of movement,  so case is original, and the letter "A" also on face side of movement.  Hope you like the hand drawn attempt at the hallmark, too tiny to get as a photo.20221107_102342.thumb.jpg.93604697f4654433e11cf7328308ab8e.jpg

I do have the full balance assembly, it's off to the side.  Hairspring was broken right where it attaches to the cock.  Have it threaded back thru the hole, but awaiting arrival of tweezers fine enough to replace the retention pin, and didn't want to move it from where it is to add to the pics unless needed.

Hi  Looks like a five bar swiss/french  movement.  Argent = meaning (silver)You may find a reference in the Mikrolisk web site    It has the stackfred/maltese cross limiter on the mainspring to equalise the torque (it uses the center portion of the mainspring only as the power source).  6806 on the case and movement indicates they are a matched pair (Original). Stauffer  made some like that one.

    • Hello, looking forward to participating on the forum here! I will mostly be listening and asking questions since I am an amateur hobbyist. I have most of the beginner hand tools and a Timegrapher. The extent of my tinkering consists of a successful Seiko 7S26 to NH36 movement swap inside an all original 1997 SKX007, along with a bunch of battery changes for friends and family. I have yet to tackle full disassembly and cleaning. Right now, I don't really have the budget or time to invest in a cleaning setup (even manual cleaning), but hopefully soon! I joined because I recently purchased a mechanical Timex Camper from 1994, and my searches for information regarding servicing and swapping out these Timex mechanical movements consistently led me to Watch Repair Talk. There is also a wealth of knowledge here about dial design, another area of interest for me. My other hobbies includes leather working (mostly small pieces, shoes eventually), crochet, sewing (would love to make clothing), design (especially type design), home espresso, cocktails, and tennis. I want to buy a film camera, but I don't need yet another expensive hobby involving last-century technology. Yes, I have ADHD.
