Welcome Tee!

It could be a movement number maybe, or a model number. Do you have an example?

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

    • A already know the size movement I have the problem is the dial a had purchased has a dimension 20.6mm wide a want to find a watch case that going to fit the dial perfectly 
    • Hi.  I would like to take issue here regarding battery driven , watches, clocks,etc. I will and do repair these clocks in fact I have sever al in my collection as well as the regular mechanical ones. I have one on my mantle piece over 60 years old tha belonged to my wife’s Aunt,  long gone Iam afraid and it has been cleaned etc and never missed a beat and is accurate. Every one has their preduices as regards Electrical /electronic Horology but I regard it as part of the progress time line of the art of Horology and to be treated as such. Like Darwin’s theory of evolution it evolved.  Two cavemen knocking rocks together and a shard broke off , looking at it he worked out if it was stuck on the end of a stick he would have a spear. Likewise his pal seeing what he was up to picked up a piece  and did the same, now that’s evolution. Some clockmaker decided to build a clock that ran with a battery and no spring to wind up and break, progress and both the mechanical and battery driven clocks evolved, the battery ones got better to the point that if it broke you changed the complete unit. Likewise watches did the same but both can be repaired by people who approach Horology with an open mind without preduice.  We all have our likes and dislikes bu I for one would never dismiss any technology because I don’t like it.   The mobile phone is a good example of modern technology at work as is the automotive industry. There buttons and switches in my car I don’t use because to me they are not nesessary but I still drive the car.
    • I haven't gone through all the reading of what it might be or not. The first thing I would do if nothing obvious stands out is replace the mainspring, you have to start at the source of the power. Nine times out of ten that is the problem.  
    • Haha. You're just in a wicked mood today John 😅
