Guess the caliber

You are a tricky one Bas...

It’s a trick question, right?

Depending upon its true size it could be a ladies movement or a larger caliber, true? And might it actually fit more than one caliber?

Well a 6494 or 6694 would be the reference number, however I’d say a caliber 1210 or 1225 handwind movement would be in those, right?

The more I think about it, I tend to agree it’d fit that as well as a 1225 and maybe a couple of others.

You boys are quick!

It is indeed a 6694 oysterdate precision with cal. 1215. So basically this bridge is the same as the cal. 1210, 1220 & 1225

Not the best looking watch though, dial was touched up quite badly.

Awesome! Let's see the watch when you're done servicing it!

Edit: Just saw your post above. Full overhaul looks fun. Let us know how she times and turns out!

Wow! Please carry on! I have a 6694 that is no longer working and I would like to see your finished product.

Motivates me to revive the grand old dame!

So cool. My better half just glanced at what I was looking at... Her: "You and your watch porn".

Thanks Bas. Great Thread!
