Hi Suitbert. Really appreciate your respond. Seems to me nobody else is get more information about these movements, then you. Now seems to me I be able to upload two images of my AP movement. As you can see a cap jewel on the back side of the movement for escapment. Because of that the wheel has a bottom column (not sure if I spell correct) pivot and upper side has straight pivot. That would not be a problem, but wheels from different calibers are shorter and some completely different in shape and wheel diameter. They are available at Wm. McCaw Company. Also I verified that information with other my suppliers.
Although, a ratchet and a crown wheels from Valjoux Cal.23 fit just fine. Also, on a back side of the mvt, if you take a look and compare with BestFit book images of Valjoux line 13, you can see the all setting is on the other side and, probably set bridge, set lever and clutch lever are not interchangeable. But, for now, my issue, still, is with an escape wheel. Thanks again for your time.
Regards, Yuri
Seeking help identifying this Patek ebauche:
While doing a little research, I have come the curiosity about the ebauche used in certain Patek Philippe watches, specifically the chronograph/calendar complications of around 1937-1956 (and perhaps some even much later). The ebauche in question seems to...

Hi Steve, it's a bit complicated, but quite simple at the same time Please take all below with a grain of salt - it's what I believe is correct, but I don't consider this authoritatively. All movements you mention share the same roots and in this case "ro...
Thanks So Much! It helps a great deal, and my specific interest is in finding the
connections to the movement in this AP from 1948. I posted this long ago (before your tenure most likely!) and got not too much information back, but then also my own resources were much thinner. The movement: and my beautiful dress watch:...

hI Suitbert . I'm not sure if you got my two previous responds on your post. I have some difficulties to post pictures of my watch on this site even they have been re-sized. Anyways, thanks for your respond on my inquire. But I still have a problem with m...
Hi Yuri,...
it would be helpfull to see some pictures, or at least a better description of the problem. Which part of the escape wheel doesn't fit (pivots, escape wheel diameter, pinion...). I'm not sure later Valjoux (cal. 23 onwards) do fit older Valjoux VZ specs -...

Hi SuitbertW. I'm wondering if you be able to find more information about this AP mvt or where I can get correct escape wheel. I just do not know what to do about it. I contacted the company, they do not know much about it. Thanks, Yuri P.S. in previous t...
