·I`ve just received this speculative punt on eBay through my letter box ..what I hope could be a rescueable "Watersport"
The cystal will need replacing-as I suspected from the limited listing pics.
The stainless steel case needs a clean up and light polish. It has a Cyma signed crown.
The hopeful news then seems to come to and end when I take the back off
It has a slightly grubby looking Cyma R 800 movement which someone seems to have tried to adjust the regulator on ...using by the looks of things - a large screwdriver and hammer ala Jeremy Clarkson school of fine engineering.
The regulator index/finger seems to have gone missing -breaking or loosening the rest of the adjusting ring and leaving one end of the hairspring still attached by the stud but the loose ring flopping around !
There is virtually no info on this movement that I can find on the web so far.
It is not listed on Dr Ranfft's database and I`ve drawn a blank looking on the Cousins U.K. website too.
I`m also unsure as to if this is an incabloc anti-shock or the remaining part of Cyma`s system with a piece missing ?.
By the look of the watch I`m guessing this dates from the late 1950`s or early/mid 1960`s.
If anyone can help out with info on this calibre -or family of calibres it may share common parts with I`d be grateful to hear.
If I can find a pdf or similar to pin down which parts are actually damaged or missing completley
I might have a chance of reviving this abused piece.
Since posting the above I `ve come across an example on ebay which shows how the balance regulator should look:
It has been suggested on another forum I`ve asked for help on that this may be a non Cyma calibre -but from what I`ve read Cyma produced their own movements until 1966 - and to me this piece looks earlier.
Thanks in advance for any assistance you may be able to give .
