Unknown Watch Caliber!!

Is there any markings under the balance wheel? Sorry, despite the markings you mention looking familiar, I can't remember right now where I've seen them....I haven't worked on this movement yet, that's probably why. I hope someone with more experience can shed more light on the issue.

 

Cheers,

 

Bob

Looks good to me. Is it working ok?

It's working but probably needs some cleaning . Could be an FHF as Geo said . I only though it looked a little like the movement you where looking for . The keyless work and the click spring looks almost the same .

    • 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.
    • 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.
    • The original database is available on iOS devices here: https://apps.apple.com/fi/app/ranfft-watch-movements-archive/id6502008939
    • I no longer have my set so I can't help anymore sorry. Many on here have the set as its a must have tool for watch making/ repair.
    • It needs to be stirred before use and that makes it feel a lot thinner than when in the bottle. Does it feel as thin as 9010 after stirring it? I guess not! Yes, it's strange! I don't know, but if it is on impact it would make sense.
