That's brilliant! What a great set of books they are! Thanks for that. Another quick question. I've noticed on the second picture of the movement on the data sheet there is some sort of spring held down with a screw towards the bottom left. However in the fourth pic the spring isn't there. My movement doesn't have that spring or screw. Are those pics fully assembled and just different types or is it missing?

Those movements are submitted by anyone as far as i know, folk that helped to build the database for Ranfft.  Those 4 pictures show 2 different variations or possibly families of caliber. Notice the two different bridges. But the set and wind are the same design, the spring is the click spring, these are common on oris movements. So that spring and screw on the last picture is missing as i think so is yours sorry.

I'm confused, I  can see the click in the usual position next to the ratchet wheel. Surely the click spring is there? 

You're  right Rich on the op's first picture there does appear to be a spring popping out under the ratchet wheel, wonder why its not on the dial side ?

Maybe so, there looks like a piece of spring under your ratchet wheel.

Yeah there is a spring under there. Hopefully now I can source a screw for the click and the bridges! Thanks for your help!

    • My favorite is my first mechanical watch.  I received it as a present when I worked in Japan about 20 years ago (don't remember the exact year but it was between 2004 and 2006). It is a Seiko SAGN011 with the 4S27 movement and a titanium bracelet.  I unfortunately dropped it in a way that made it stop working.  I sent it to Seiko US for repair, they sent it to Japan without looking at it and the service and repair ended up costing $610 By the way one link in the bracelet is damaged and needs replacement and I have no idea how to find one.  If any of you know how it can be done it will avoid another expensive repair, right now my wife has a trip to Japan planned for the fall and we are thinking about having it repaired then. It is exactly like this one https://wholesaleshop.ru/product/134848968779
    • Yeah I have the cheap one.  But I think you are correct and they are reversible I hadn't tried turning them other but I see it in the picture (I am at work can't check the actual holders right now). I'll probably get better one at some point but right now there has been a lot of tools to buy to start so I am cheaping out on some things.  I am quite happy that I did get a microscope because working with a loupe was just not working for me at all. next big stuff coming is ultrasonic machine, cleaning solution (99.9% IPA and Naphta) and lubricant (Moebius 8000 and Molikote DX for now).  
    • I’ll be getting into them sometime this year, my grandfather’s pocket watch was one of the reasons I got into this rabbit hole. Funny enough last week whilst I was replacing a couple of batteries for the missus she done the old “I just remembered something “ and wandered off. A couple of minutes later she hand me her father’s and grandfather’s pocket watches. Apparently she got them from her brother years ag because I was into watches and thought I might like them. Not looking forward to looking at her grandmothers watch, solid gold and the head is pretty much the size of my little finger nail.   Tom
    • Hi Murks, I would just measure the old spring and order a generic one closest I can to size. Especially on thickness and height, length doesn’t matter so much as long as the difference isn’t huge.   Tom
    • As it’s Seiko have you tried a search in cousinsuk crystal section using the case reference?   Tom Had a Quick Look, 310W13GN00 looks like the part number you need but every listing I have found is a discontinued line. You might want to measure up the one you have and look through the sternkruetz catalog, here is a download link http://www.sternkreuz.de/accordion/assets/Sternkreuz_Gesamtkatalog G22.pdf   Tom
