Will the shorter one suffice. What do cousins mean by non automatic, do they mean normal bridal, which is what I require. 

automatic means a watch with self winding and your watch is not a self winding watch so a normal bridal would work and that's what they would be indicating.

Another thing I like to do for stuff like this is the look in the mainspring catalog and see what they recommend. sometimes I even like the look and a second reference all of the problem with the second reference is the listing is  in Denison and I'm too lazy to go look up the Denison chart but it does tell us the same thing I believe

then once you get the mainspring part number you go back to cousins and there is your mainspring it even says it's for your watch plus it's in stock

Thats ok John you do plenty for us, so i can manage that for you. 🙂

Dennison measurements from Bestfit.

Dennison width 9 =1.80 mm heigtht

Dennison strength 5 = 0.18mm thickness

Length 19.5 inch = 495mm 

These sizes match up pretty damn close to the GR catalogue and cousins measurements.

    • attached is the tech /parts sheet. .   Can one ask how come it’s full of water. After being told that the waterproofing was not guaranteed.  Problem being electronics don’t mix especially withe the power source being attached.  You may be lucky but I should look out for a replacement movement or working donor to rob the movement from.

    • I thought this may be "right" forum to post this. After 7 months out in Switzerland I got my Navitimer back from Breitling. I had sent it off since its 20 years old to have a complete overhaul done... Nothing major wrong, but I did notice this seconds sundial skipping thingy.... $1300 later and 7 months later, I notice the 'skips' are still here unless the chronometer is engaged. I would think this is likely the hand binding up and maybe clearance with the dial, but at any rate Im interested as to whether this is something I should be returning the watch to Breitling for and insisting on being fixed. See below - 1 minute or so of regular running and then 1 minute with the chronograph engaged.  
    • A friend of mine just gave me an old pocket watch. The case is in very bad condition but the movement itself seems to be in a quite good shape. I can't identify which movement is this, since I have to find a missing winding stem. I attach few photos in a case somebody would be able to give some hints.  Thank's folks
    • Hello everyone, I recently received a request for advice on purchasing a vintage watch, a Waltham A-11 ORD. DEPT. I asked if they were aware that these types of watches have radioactive hands and dials... but they had no idea what I was talking about. So, I thought of creating a video that could help recognize them, starting from the distinctive details to using a Geiger counter. I hope you like it and find it useful for those venturing into the world of vintage watches. Bye.
