Jabs, I have parts for many of the ladies watches including a very large selection of glass crystals. I don't work on the ladies, too small for me.

JP Thanks for the offer, this watch I bought at auction a lot of cheap. Also, I am not youngest and therefore I have no eyesight very best. If I can get a functional movement that would be better. If it does not to get back to you and I'll try to fix it for practice. Most 5AD movements that I found were exactly the same defect - broken balance.

It does have characteristics of "La Petite family" :)    I'll hunt for an ad.  One 1955 ad from this thread  .   Do all "La Petite family" have diamonds?  Does subject watch have a couple diamonds on lugs?

I've looked a couple times for this one, I just don't find any match at all.

Unknown, for now.

What do you guys think about the second one down in this 1959 ad?

"4 diamonds cureve into lovers knots..."  Looks like enough to change my vote from unknown to generic La Petite.
