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? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Guess the 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? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

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. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

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.

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!
