I am at a loss here...the movement has the number 853 under the balance, but I cannot find any reference to it on the interwebs.

It needs a new balance staff and roller jewel.

Any info would be greatly appreciated!

 

Looks almost like a 10e or 10s

Eta 810 base I believe.

 

Nice watch.

 

That’s a great watch? Awesome dial and hands

 

Dibs if > 37mm

 

it's 35mm, but there is basically no bezel, it wears much larger...and it could be yours

 

Base caliber is an ETA 853. I can't find much else on it.

Ranfft shows parts as follows:

Balance staff U906 Stem W1402 Mainspring Zf1534, 1.80 x 13.5 x 0.17mm Hands 1.38 x 0.80mm

From my Paulsons reference.

 

You are the man!!!

Thank you sir.

 

Dang I searched “eta 853” too on the database and no dice. http://www.ranfft.de/cgi-bin/bidfun-db.cgi?10&ranfft&&2uswk&ETA_853

Should have googled eta 853.... doh!

 

Dibs if <36
