It's probably just the stock codes for that particular seller if they are selling hundreds of items and have hundreds more to sell its probably just to help the seller keep track. Email them and ask I'm sure they wont bite:thumbsu:

The other numbers you may encounter will be Calibre, numbers which are the original manufacture designation code for movements to help identify and help when ordering spares but they are usually stated as such E.G Omega Calibre 620. 

And then there are Lignes which are also stated in listings this is a measurement of movement size and is usually written as 10.5 Lignes or 10.5L 

These are the only numbers I can think you would encounter and you probably already know the above.

I should also mention since you are intrested in pocket watches American pocket watches had a different system of measuring pocket watch movements these are termed as Size so can be written as Size 16 or  16S

Thanks, you are right it is a stock code for the seller they say that the ebay code is to long.

I have just purchased some movements and i asked the seller.

      Hello from the Philadelphia area

      By Rocco · Posted

      Hello, looking forward to participating on the forum here! I will mostly be listening and asking questions since I am an amateur hobbyist. I have most of the beginner hand tools and a Timegrapher. The extent of my tinkering consists of a successful Seiko 7S26 to NH36 movement swap inside an all original 1997 SKX007, along with a bunch of battery changes for friends and family. I have yet to tackle full disassembly and cleaning. Right now, I don't really have the budget or time to invest in a cleaning setup (even manual cleaning), but hopefully soon! I joined because I recently purchased a mechanical Timex Camper from 1994, and my searches for information regarding servicing and swapping out these Timex mechanical movements consistently led me to Watch Repair Talk. There is also a wealth of knowledge here about dial design, another area of interest for me. My other hobbies includes leather working (mostly small pieces, shoes eventually), crochet, sewing (would love to make clothing), design (especially type design), home espresso, cocktails, and tennis. I want to buy a film camera, but I don't need yet another expensive hobby involving last-century technology. Yes, I have ADHD.
