Hi its a long shot but worth a go.

This is a 23 jewel automatic omer watch from around the 50s 60s it has a ETA movement that begins 24 -- I know i should dismantle it to check it clearly but it has been knocked and is indistinctive.. Its just the winding stem i need damn thing snapped on me .

Last number may be 9 but its really not clear any more.

Anyoner with a idea what it may be give us a shout.

cheers

Well, it’s a no date, so that narrows it down. 
 

24xx family should all use the same stem. 
 

2483 maybe?

2784 is the date movement in my 9411s. 2783 was the no date variant I think. 
 

last digit goes up with complications. 
 

no date; date; day-date

i don’t have my files here at home or I’d look it up in the old data sheets. 
 

efit- I forgot sometimes beat rate varied on the older movements. But I don’t think that would effect the stem.

Hmm..  Think you have to take off the winding mechanism and the balance bridge to be completely sure,
since it has a pin and not a screw on the oscillating weight it is a 24XX. It has no date and looks like a pure dial side so probably an
ETA 2459. 
When confirming the exact caliber if it actually says ETA 2459 you can look for any of these stems and they will probably fit since they should be the same.
ETA 2390 
ETA 2391 
ETA 2451 
ETA 2452 
ETA 2459 
ETA 2472 
ETA 2474

      Handmade Watchmaker’s Probe

      By TimepieceTinkerer · Posted

      Hi everyone Sharing a little something I built recently — a handmade probe for delicate tasks like removing micro gaskets, shock springs, checking wheels in movement, and similar fiddly operations. I forged it from a needle, heated until red-hot and bent to a ≈90° angle, then quenched in oil to harden and reduce future rust. The handle is crafted from wood repurposed from a leather tool, and I used epoxy to seat the needle securely. Simple, but solid. No flex, no nonsense, and honestly better than most overpriced tools I’ve seen on the market — especially the ones made from cheap materials. I’d rate it a 9/10, and I might refine it even more next round. I call it... "The Holy Hook" Would love to hear thoughts.

      Your nicest antique tools or materials?

      I keep holding out hope that the hype will die down (thanks, Very Popular Youtube Guy) and the typical prices of these will fall from $120 USD down below $50, and then I will try to buy one. Or maybe I'll spot one in a random unlabeled tool lot at auction that is well hidden enough that no one else notices it and I can get the lot at a low price. (P.S. I blame Very Popular Youtube Guy because it's common on reddit to find hobbyists unveiling their brand new lot of essential starter screwdrivers, tweezers, and Bergeon case cushion, and including a vintage cannon pinion remover)

      Automatic vs Manual movement servicing

      By Elie · Posted

      Hi All, I've been servicing manual watches for a few months now and I'm quite comfortable with these now. I've been waiting for Mark's level 4 course to come out to learn how to service automatic movements but it doesn't seem to be ready yet. Could someone please summarise the differences between servicing a manual vs an automatic watch movement? The key difference I know of is that you use a special grease on the walls of the barrel for automatic watches as the mainspring is meant to slide once it's fully wound. Anything else?  What do I do with the automatic winding mechanism? Just take it apart, clean it with the rest and reinstall? What's the lubrication protocol for that? Thanks in advance! Elie

      Yes, my "antique" tool (if it qualifies as such!?) really can't compare to the other examples in this thread, but I always feel happy when I get to bring it out and use it. I picture how its previous owner (or owners) lifted off hundreds—perhaps even thousands—of cannon pinions, and I hope it will continue to live on long after I've left this world.

      Watch runs perfect for days, and suddenly stops.

      By apandersP · Posted

      I’ve got it to run good now. It doesn’t stop anymore. I changed the pallet fork.    But after casing the watch, the alarm won’t work. It worked fine when I made it ring when I should put on the hands. But not after casing the watch..
