Ok guys hopefully someone will know, just doing a service and apart from the serial number 669793 there are no other marks to say what Cal this movement is. The mainspring was broken so I need a new one,

my measurements are as follows 195mm long

1.38mm high 0.07mm thick, barrel inside diameter is 6mm and it’s 1.75mm deep.

having looked on cousins they list nothing with these dimensions and I’m seeing nothing in my Generale resorts book, but the eyes are tired and there’s a lot of figures in those books.

with the measurements I’ve given where would I be able to deviate on these, ie length, thickness etc, a kinda rule of thumb for spring replacement in the future, as I also have a need for a new spring for a ladies smiths empire 7 jewel movement again with no Cal number on it either, cheers for the help guys

Yes mate, im happy with the 17 jewel ladies movement it's the cal. That I cannot find out so that I can get a correct sized mainspring, ive just had a look at another Sekonda that I have awaiting a service, and it has the same movement but this one has SU stamped on the bridge, also a small shield type engraving under the balance, again my hunt continues

Apart from me saying that, how did you figure out that from the results that came back from my search on Ranfft? 

Looked like this. Just did a search on google by russian 17 jewel movement and this came up. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sekonda-17-jewels-Russian-ladies-movement-101397-/111839378415

    • Thank you for your introduction and welcome to this friendly forum. We all look forward to your contributions and continued involvement. 
    • Drat and double drat i was looking forward to the royalties on that idea.
    • Compression Spring Various Size. This might be helpful. I have watch furniture restorers and how they go about this problem, they inject glue underneath with a syringe and clamp it, leave over night. Next day remove clamp and it smooth. You could use an iron but be careful not to burn the wood.  https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/265697329513?chn=ps&_ul=GB&var=565484998457&_trkparms=ispr%3D1&amdata=enc%3A1jd_-94ilTHWZLQ3PxHeC1A73&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=710-134428-41853-0&mkcid=2&mkscid=101&itemid=565484998457_265697329513&targetid=1647205088320&device=c&mktype=pla&googleloc=1006662&poi=&campaignid=17206177401&mkgroupid=136851690655&rlsatarget=pla-1647205088320&abcId=9300866&merchantid=119334104&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwir2xBhC_ARIsAMTXk849TnBArEYdgv1DpHf_somCZYmB7ViqD3UtvNJJc_dn4kj0AFxBXngaArSAEALw_wcB
    • 🤣 i think your first statement is rather dramatic, but i will take it in good humour.  I think the thread speaks for itself John.  What we are aiming for and when i say we, thats not actually that many that have spoke up. Is to have a back up plan to keep members in touch in case the forum ever disappears. So in essence yes the group has maybe taken on a life of its own and would like to remain together forever ( 🤣 i can also be dramatic )  maybe more members need to give some input of how they feel about it or say they are just not that bothered.  Either way at least the question gets answered. Can i ask what the forum means to you and how you would feel without it ? Thats one answer Rich from one person, without knowing how others feel the thread was just a waste of time. Aw Rich are you saying you'd miss me ? I'm touched 🙂
