Morning, 

I just bought this little trench watch, but striking out when it comes to identifying it. There are no maker marks that I can see  but due to the bridge work and the 5 adjustments,  it looks quite a good movement. 

Is anyone able to throw some light on it please? I'd like to know what I have. Thanks folks.

Frankie

Hi With unmarked movements of some age the best course of action is to expose the front plate and use the Bestfit book identification section to compare  the setting levers with the drawings, The size of the movement will help in locating the watch.

Hi   I have just checked the later links provided by Old Hippy using  meadiafire.     I you use the search function and search term "mediafire" you will be able to locate the two files.. I have downloaded both books for test  ok.      Hi Frankie  yes under the dial thye setting or keyless work, bestfit book links work ok.            cheers

Thanks all, I guess I'm too stupid, not in Mac Firefox nor in Safari 🤓 Never mind, I don't want to pollute this thread and I will find them somewhere else, one day 😉

    • 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 Orient watch question, so please don't write anything related to the topic, but if you know where I can buy the watch's jewels = rubies and gems shock protection, I would like to know.
    • 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.
