I think it's a Revue 30

This has lots of variation in bridge shapes but check out figure 9 for comparison with yours.

The only thing that makes me a little unsure is the keyless works which don't appear to be a perfect match.

Thanks Marc, thats is so great, like you say the keyless works is slightly different but its a starting point. Really appreciate your help.

Keyless works make it more of a Revue 31 but either way with acknowledged variety of bridge shapes for these Revue movements this should set you in the right direction.

Thanks watchmaker, i am looking for a balance staff the back looks like a 30 but like you have said the keyless works looks like a 31 so am unsure which staff to look for.

Consider using https://www.balancestaffs.com/revue.php which gives the dimensions of a balance staff if you click on a calibre number. Using your existing staff as the reference hopefully that will determine what Ronda numbered staff you're after ... as well as then giving an answer to the 30 or 31 question once you find a match.

Thank you so much for all your help i really appreciate it.

I thought i would pop on with an update of this movement, i was unable to measure the staff in it as it was the wrong one so i took a chance on this being a revue 31 and brought the relevant staff.  I am very pleased to say that this pocket watch now lives again. Thanks again for everyones help.

    • The ones I have opened also do not have a pry point , hence the reason for the tool. The watch is clamped in the tool and a blade is screwed into the seam, the blade being chamfered lifts the back then the screw shaft is turned and the back comes off have a look on Ali express for case back removal tools
    • I don't think I need to know more about the question now, so please don't write anything related to the topic. Thank you to everyone who wrote. Have a nice day.
    • It's an exhibition back so no access as you suggest.
    • I have no experience with this watch, but looking at the pictures from the ebay listing linked above, it looks like the outer metal bezel at the back of the watch may not be part of the case proper.  It looks like the watch and strap are sandwiched together, and an inner case may push out of the rear bezel towards the front of the watch.  A case style similar to the Roamer watches where the crystal, movement and caseback pushed out through the back of an outer bezel, only in reverse - this one may push out towards the front.  To test this, you would need to hold the watch, dial down, supporting the dial side of the watch around the edge of the bezel without touching the bezel itself. Then push down carefully on the inner metal ring you can see at the back of the watch. I’m speculating here, proceed at your own risk. Hopefully someone with hands on experience of these watches can chime in! Best Regards, Mark
    • Thanks, Mark. That's the kind of reassurance many of us wanted to hear! Yes, life is unfortunately unpredictable, and it would be a shame if the many dedicated WRT: ers became stranded if, god forbid, something happened to you and WRT stopped working.
