Hi, hoping that someone can help me out

I have recently found my dear old dad's watch in the attic (he died in 1990)

I took it to a jeweller in the hope that a new battery would result in it being ok & that I could wear it

However, he tells me that the battery had leaked & had destroyed the terminals. He suggested that I try & get a replacement movement for it?

I'm told that the movement number is TIM862. Can anybody please help?

regards

Ronnie

The movement will be obsolete. It may be possible for a watchmaker to find, adapt and fit something else with similar specifications. However, with this watch, the calendar is likely to be a problem, since its difficult to get a movement that has calendar wheels that match up well with the existing calendar windows.

      What are these Seitz B-Jewels?

      By Jon · Posted

      I picked up a similar amount of these jewels some years ago in a watch and clock fair. Every now and then they come in handy. This week I've got a rubbed in bombe jewel in the balance cock that is cracked and needs replacing. Very handy to have a vintage assortment of these type of jewels!

      Great diagram with the teeth and pinion count. Simple way to reduce the speed of the hour wheel by the 12:1 minute wheel. Genius and yet so simple. Always good to reinforce the principal by what you have done in your drawing. Keep doing that. I had a drawing on my wall for years showing me this which is very similar to the drawing you have done. Here's a formula to work out the beats per hour of a watch movement. The movement's BPH is dictated by the wheel teeth and pinion count and the hairspring being vibrated to the correct BPH by finding the pinning up point on the hairspring using a vibrating tool.  The reason in the formula there is X2 on the top line is because there are two pallet stones.

      So I just wanted to say "thank you" again.  The angle is the key bit it seems and yes, it did basically just fall, or float, back into position when I got it lined up just right. I had meant to add that now that I see how it goes in, I totally see how it came out in the first place, and that whomever cloned the original movement didn't pay much attention to the fine details around the setting or how it interfaces with the balance cock or the "rings" on the regulator and/or stud carrier arms.
