Hi there, I'm working on this Baron watch, but can't spot any markings on the movement to identify the movement maker. I need to replace the broken setting lever and missing stem/crown. Any ideas appreciated 馃檪

Broken setting lever and probably the reason the stem/crown is missing

There is a Baron on eBay, but this is a 404 club watch so would prefer not spending +/- $40 on a complete 'Baron' watch.

Ah, this helps. The spring was left hand wind, and the shock setting looks very Seiko, so maybe a I have a Chinese movement version...

    • Now I see the dial feet/clips. the mechanical part of the watch seems fine but can I replace the circuit board. I鈥檓 in New Jersey
    • Hello Forum, I am looking for a complete IWC 8531 steel case. Unfortunately, gold prices destroyed many vintage watches and left very cool movements without a home. I restored an 8531 movement and have been on the lookout for a replacement case in steel to use with this movement. So far, no luck. I would appreciate any leads for a genuine IWC case. FYI, the dial is damaged, but I am on the fence about replacing it as its scars show character.  Thanks Forum APD Alan
    • Thanks. I'll order some in and give it a go. I also just saw they have some men's ones here - https://thewatchlink.co.uk/products/spare-pin-and-tube-for-omega-seamaster-full-sized-watch-bracelet-link I'll order those as I need some for my watch and I can practice with them first.
    • There are different versions of the movement, do we know which one is required? 
    • @VWatchie im going to throw my tuppence in, might not help but hopefully gets you back down to earth. current AI (LLM) are essentially web scraping and aggregator bots, they work across for those of us who have spent most of their working life鈥檚 building the internet think as the most untrustworthy source of anything. Look at Wikipedia as a prime example. Our issue here is as a society we have been conditioned over years to trust everything that the computer tells us. Garbage in, garbage out as I am sure you know is as valid here as it has always been. AI could be useful in specific contexts, say we had watchgpt and it got its data by scraping the watch manufacturer data and only that then it鈥檚 erroneous output would be much reduced however if it referenced two tech docs from the same manufacturer and the same movement it would still depend on whether it鈥檚 algorithm could make a decision on which is best. now out here in the real world the AI bot will scrape all and sundry data based on your request and it cannot validate any of that information at all but does seem to be able to present whatever it finds in a way that is fairly convincing at times. i think that we are starting to see AI referencing AI generated output to validate what it鈥檚 put out. Not 100 % sure about the veracity but there is apparently a paper out in the wild that AI was used as an aid to compile, more papers have appeared citing the first in support of there thesis. The problem with these papers is they referenced a material from the first paper that doesn鈥檛 exist but was bits of words mashed together to sound good.   it can have its place and uses but should be treated with extreme caution. sorry for the rant it鈥檚 hard enough on this planet to find Actual Intelligence as it is without introduction of Artificial Intelligence which is even more stupid.   Tom
