If not exactly the same caliber, its a variant of your piece.

That is it I think.  I confirm the dial side.  I guess it doesn't have a classic caliber number.

 FHF30 and its variants is place to start with,  of many variants made, you might see only a few on  ranfft's site, parts mostly interchange so there is good chance of finding  the ones missing in you piece.

Oh $600 is way too high, notice Rolex adjusted them  which this piece is missing.the balance.

Many manufacturer made 700 series MrRoundel mentioned above, I a am not sure if its the same story with caliber 30s. 

Just to give you an idea ,you can get a healthy running fhf70 for about fifty bucks.

Good luck pal

      Rado rotor removal

      By doober · Posted

      Hi! I am in the process of restoring a rado captain cook mkII. I want to remove the rotor, but I am not sure how to and need some help. As you can hopefully see on the photo there are 2 screws. The left one has two positions, the right one looks like a regular screw. I have tried turning the right one, but it does not give even after using more force than I would expect. Anyone know the function of the left screw with the two positions and how to remove the rotor? Thanks!!

      Welcome to the group Stirky. You can search for just about every subject in the craft here. Don't be afraid to ask if you can't find the answer that may have already been covered ( some ad nauseum LOL ). You don't have to buy Bergeon to get good quality. There are many decent mid-range tools available that will last you a lifetime. Cousins would be a good place to start . Cheers from across the pond ! Randy

      What are these Seitz B-Jewels?

      By Jon · Posted

      I picked up a similar amount of these jewels some years ago in a watch and clock fair. Every now and then they come in handy. This week I've got a rubbed in bombe jewel in the balance cock that is cracked and needs replacing. Very handy to have a vintage assortment of these type of jewels!

      Diagram for 6497 motion works

      By Jon · Posted

      Great diagram with the teeth and pinion count. Simple way to reduce the speed of the hour wheel by the 12:1 minute wheel. Genius and yet so simple. Always good to reinforce the principal by what you have done in your drawing. Keep doing that. I had a drawing on my wall for years showing me this which is very similar to the drawing you have done. Here's a formula to work out the beats per hour of a watch movement. The movement's BPH is dictated by the wheel teeth and pinion count and the hairspring being vibrated to the correct BPH by finding the pinning up point on the hairspring using a vibrating tool.  The reason in the formula there is X2 on the top line is because there are two pallet stones.
