I have no info on it, although I have seen a few online in historical auction sales. I’ve not purchased one of these for restoration work yet. Looks like a really nice and solid set.  Would be fun to bring it back to life and fill it up the way it was new.  
  I wonder if it’s made by Hugo Maihak the German engineer ? Reminds me of one of my older Seitz Jeweling set anvils.

Also makes me wonder if the Seitz parts will fit that set ? I have several of the 3mm and 4mm models 

 

  Nice find for sure

It does look similar, as far as I can tell it’s German I think probably Hugo Maihak as well. I am really hoping it does fit Seitz. Otherwise I’ve got another project 😂

clone of the Seitz

It actually looks like one of the earliest versions where it's made out of cast iron in other words it's very heavy. Versus the later generation that was made out of some other material and hollow.

I guess you assume they have a standard?

C they do have a standard either three or 4 mm. Fortunately I think all the reamers are of one size and that's the most likely thing to break so that won't be an issue.

I was watching that one, but noticed quite a few pieces missing.

I decided to give it a go. With the hope I can replace the missing pieces. Fingers crossed 🤞

      Rolex 645: shock protection cleaning and pivot wear

      By Nucejoe · Posted

      If pivot shoulder almost touches the mainplate, you will see lower amplitude and free oscilation comes to stop quicker. Such touching can stop the watch. This caliber is based on FHF, I think. So some parts of a cheaper movement of same caliber might interchange.

      This watch has a pin end mainspring. It's a blued steel spring and may be the original >100 year old part. As you can see, it is quite set. Can anyone suggest where I might be able to obtain such a spring today? Dimensions: Height: 140 Thickness: 010 Arbor diameter: 340 Barrel diameter 989 (1/100 mm)

      Rolex 645: shock protection cleaning and pivot wear

      Many thanks for your answers: 1. I will clean both of them without risk 🙂 2. Both of the rotate inside their setting but they don't seem to come out. I will clean the cock (and the hole jewels) and I will see if they want to go out. I don't intend to force the setting pushing it out by any means. I only hope I don't need the dismantle the whole cock into all its components...! 3. I won't touch it. Only clean. I don't want to take risk... Thanks again! Thanks for your anwer. Yes, I meant short. In fact there are 2 pictures where It can be seen that the balance almost touch the main plate. The balance only spin freely when I loosen the cock screw and also the bottom jewel setting. I cleaned the exterior jewels on the cock and on the main plate. But I can't take the interior settings. I uploaded 1 picture on this  My reply to your comments are below. Apologies as I Replied rather than quote...

      By worn pivot, Do you mean short ?   A pivot is not short if balance spins freely on it. Dial up & dial down tests are good test for investigation, visual test alone doesn't suffice. A thorough test is free oscilation, which is best done when balance cock is adjusted with acceptable end shake. Balance settings on both side should be dismantled as they must be cleaned, pegged and inspected.  Stud & pivot & where spring leaves the collet are on one line, show entire coil and where you think is bent, please.

      1. I think the pivots look pretty good and I wouldn't worry about wear. 2. Yes, I think the hole jewels should come out for cleaning, complete with their spring setting. I don't have experience with Rolex but I've seen this spring type setting in another movement. They may be stuck in with old dried oil. 3. Yes, I think the overcoil is out of shape.
