Might make you laugh but i need help identifying this somehow

So get this I had a watch come into the shop from a customer who enjoyed tinkering with watches and he tried, unsuccessfully, to fix this basic quartz Rotary, which wouldn't be a big deal, only he managed to completely lose the top plate, which we had to point out to him, which presumably held the make/calibre info.:D




I attempted to use cousins' movement searches with the size (length) of 18.2 mm and the other clearly observable specifications, got no immediate answers. I considered contacting Rotary but based off of past negative experiences, I didn't want to spend an hour on hold (especially without loudspeaker) to probably be told they don't know and can't help.

is there some really clever person here who might be able to somehow identify this?

searched carefully for any etching in the plastic, to no avail. 

Actually zooming in on the case back, it does appear readable to me, let me type it out: LS02489/06(12805) that should be the serial at least. 

Interesting, I might have to flip through the cousins' catalogue on Rondas, I assumed it was a Japanese movement due to how it was put together, I even flicked through some in the catalogue on those, although half-heartedly.

PS. Mine was a front loader and I had to split off the bezel to change the movement.  I have remembered that did work on a Rotary chrono some time ago, again a movement change, and it was quite fussy, two sub dials and lunar phase plus date indicated by  a hand as well and that one did actually have a Miyota 6P50 movement in it.

Cheers,

Vic

    • that band is old as stated, there is a kit that pops up from time to time on selling sites for the repair of these type bands, some of this type are adjustable on a few links, one adjustable type allows you to align the round opening in the expansion slit [like yours] with the rivet to separate, but if yours won't come out then the rivet head is too big and will have to be done with some rivet removal and replacement, I suppose if you could make/optain the correct rivets that one could alter the said band, the tops/caps do lift off after raising the tabs....  
    • This is a watch from a friend who sent it to a neighborhood watchmaker for a battery change. It came back with the watch stem in a ziplock bag and the dial skewed 20°. The watchmaker told him that the stem was faulty and the watch cannot be repaired. I opened up the watch and found that one dial foot was broken off and still stuck in the movement, while the other was bent until it was flat against the dial. The stem could be inserted but it couldn't be pulled out to quickset and time adjusting positions. I did a full disassemble, cleaned and oiled the movement. But when it put in the battery, the second hand runs super fast. Like it gains 30 mins every hour. Any advice on fixing this problem? TIA.
    • I determined that the balance staff is rotating, not the roller table, so my second attempt at riveting was unsuccessful. I have ordered a new balance staff and will take measurements when it arrives. The balance staff i originally ordered (and now reordered) was specified as: Replacement balance staff: (A. Schild Caliber 984 1002 1021 1124 Original Balance Staff Part 723) so it should be correct. Measurements: (see pic below for terminology) xxxyy is a place holder until the new balance staff arrives. Lower pivot: Old - .08 mm New - xxxyy Lower pivot to balance seat: Old - 1.53 mm New - xxxyy Roller shoulder: Old - .42 mm New - xxxyy Hub: Old - xxxyy New - xxxyy Balance shoulder: Old - .86 mm New - xxxyy Collet shoulder: Old - .56 mm New - xxxyy Upper pivot: Old - broken New - xxxyy
    • Hello and welcome from Leeds.  We're here to help. 
    • I was just about to adk that, probably they have unnecessary waiting lists to make their watches appear more exclusive than they actually are.
