Ovivo Standard 412 assistance

Good evening,

I acquired an Ovivo manual wind watch with a pristine dial which doesn't run. Upon opening the watch, I saw the movement is stamped Standard 412. Emmy Watch* has an entry with no information for a Standard 412A, other than saying the base was a Peseux 7000** (which looked nothing like mine.)

A disassembly and cleaning revealed the problem: the roller jewel is completely missing. I suspect the last person who was inside had something to do with it, since there was also a wrong screw in the keyless works bridge.

I have tried without success to find out anything about the movement; naturally, I would love to find a donor balance complet, or a donor watch generally, to fix this one. Any leads which could be provided would be helpful.

Thanks very much!

~~Tom

Thanks so much! I've been getting an error message when trying to reach Ranfft database (my usual go-to). It looks like the URL changed?

Ranfft datebase is gone. Try the link I posted.

That's too bad. It doesn't seem as robust, but I'll admit to not using since you told me about it. Thank you very much!

      Not a family member, and yes, it no way near as good, as some information got lost from original site and some information got incorrectly copied. The original site is available as iOS app here: https://apps.apple.com/fi/app/ranfft-watch-movements-archive/id6502008939

      Seitz Tool - Help determine if Seitz or not

      By Hawaiikook808 · Posted

      Outstanding, Marc! Your information is really helpful and clears this up, especially given that yours were purchased as sets. Thanks, man. So, it appears I jumped the gun on this one, but I am relieved. I will say, though, that all of my reamers and concave pushers are number-stamped and appear to be of better quality.  Also, the bayonets on my pushers are actually the same color as the steel.  The next thing to do is restore the heads of these pushers with some polishing paper.  Alex at the Watch Repair channel has a nice little video on this.   I appreciate your help!

      Just installed it on my iPhone (my only iOS device) and it appears to be intact and functional. I may have to go out and buy myself an ipad just for this app.

      Seitz Tool - Help determine if Seitz or not

      By Marc · Posted

      I have two Seitz sets, one ancient (with the 3mm anvils) and one just old (with 4mm anvils) plus a collection of spare pushers of assorted vintage. Not one of them is marked with it's size. Something which I have found very irritating when I have been using the tool and not returning pushers to their correct place in the tray every time as it means that I have to get the calipers out and measure them. These were bought as sets and collectively I have over 100 pushers so it would seem highly unlikely (if not inconceivable) that they are all cheap knock offs, especially as they are old enough to pre-date the prevalence of the Chinese knock off industry (at least as applied to watch making tools). I therefore believe them to be original Seitz parts. And there is no numbering. The shape of the bottom of the pump pushers is the same as your photo. The only thing that may not be the same is that the slotted insert (looks like a screw but is in fact a bayonet) should be brass. Yours looks the same colour as the steel but that could just be the lighting.
