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!

      What voltage are you feeding it?

      Maybe you had a bad one H, the cheap blue one i use has been fine for nearly 3 years now. It demags enough to stop the tiniest of screws sticking to the carbon steel tweezers i use. If it were to fail at some point in the future i very  probably would go up a level of device just because.

      Lot of “industrial “ de magnifiers on Aliexpress  https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004699640024.html?src=google&src=google&albch=shopping&acnt=708-803-3821&slnk=&plac=&mtctp=&albbt=Google_7_shopping&albagn=888888&isSmbAutoCall=false&needSmbHouyi=false&albcp=17858129175&albag=&trgt=&crea=en1005004699640024&netw=x&device=c&albpg=&albpd=en1005004699640024&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwo6GyBhBwEiwAzQTmcxIEVpMt1vFIKQyfjVwT95zrBsOi5dt-GgFOmLamBcMcu4tO7CfaaxoChnEQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds&aff_fcid=b7140f118e144db7876d074872aec9cb-1716029308364-08531-UneMJZVf&aff_fsk=UneMJZVf&aff_platform=aaf&sk=UneMJZVf&aff_trace_key=b7140f118e144db7876d074872aec9cb-1716029308364-08531-UneMJZVf&terminal_id=6b7c60e41b044cb39d1431f62cda0958&afSmartRedirect=y   a hard drive wiper/degauser would also be worth looking at.   Tom

      Unfortunately yes! Magnetism can wreak havoc on a mechanical watch movement if the balance hairspring becomes magnetised. The cheap blue Chinese demagnetise-rs are useless if you feed them the wrong voltage (> 110 V), and even so, they don't work very well. The one I got when I was new worked so poorly that it drove me nuts. Eventually, I was lucky to get a Greiner Magnomatic for a little money. It's an amazing tool that can be trusted to do its job perfectly in seconds. A new one comes with a price tag of  £885 excluding tax and shipping, and if you think that's a bit steep (I believe most of us would) and can't find a used one I'd go with @Jon's recommendation.
