Hi I bought this watch not working to repair because of the unusual automatic module, however I can't seem to identify the movement or Maker. The main movement is 11 1/2''' 21 jewels, the escape wheel pictured has both pivots broken
Can anyone shed any lig9.thumb.jpg.7ce725a6be24076e1289d00144f99489.jpg10.thumb.jpg.a8bbddb629ae473a3e2b39bc18584751.jpg2.thumb.jpg.9cb48177b7dafc6252435e695f9f8b98.jpg8.thumb.jpg.2580db19719ffecab4655538872b1aed.jpg7.thumb.jpg.42b137c87e7ff598612aef04c717dc5b.jpg6.thumb.jpg.55076da3cda2bec12fb6069f62539878.jpg5.thumb.jpg.64db9b3438ac30362b00868d1dc13b23.jpg4.thumb.jpg.27e0fb12a07b1f2f4334446078a95b3f.jpg3.thumb.jpg.e3cdca0b4ccf41da4f7a213cb1f9d9cc.jpg1.thumb.jpg.ad2293a88aa890305e926f6eefda1f20.jpght on the make and calibre?

The watch is for my collection and I would love to get it back into a serviceable condition but there are no identifying marks on the movement apart from the number 1 stamped under the balance cock

Someone else posted what appears to be the same (or incredibly similar) movement on here some years ago; never definitely identified but it may add some clues?

I have a few Forster movements 80, 197 etc, they are similar but no coconut. 
I also tried buying an escape wheel for a Durowe which looked very similar but again it was a bust.
Thanks everyone for your comments, hopefully someone will be able to identify it. Unfortunately then it's down to getting the part.

It's a pity because It really is an unusual automatic module and would be great for my collection
Ho hum that's watchmaking

The Guba 1200 is a strange movement as it comes as a manual wind, automatic wind, date. and worse of all it comes as 10 1/2''' and also as a 11 1/2''' but they are all Guba 1200 calibre. the automatic was designated Guba 1200 AUT, the date was Guba 1200 CLD. But don't be fooled, the 11 1/2''' and 10 1/2''' parts are different and when buying, you will find that normally the size isn't specified. usually parts are for the 10 1/2''' movement.
