Order one from the material houses With the military watches there probably aren't too many alternate staffs. It would make parts supply and repair difficult for the services. The military figured that out a long time ago.
You'll need the model number to order the staff unless you have the part number, which is probably somewhere on the movement. If not you might be able to find it in the BestFit catalogue or post a picture and someone on the board may be able to identify it. If you post a picture include any writing in text because sometimes it is difficult to make out on a picture. Also, if it needs to be identified through BestFit then a picture or the setting parts would be helpful. Cyma parts may be listed as Tavannes (sp?).
Cyma Pocket Watch Serial Numbers
Thankyou for the response. I have been looking at Dr Ranfft's archive which is organised by calibre and does have some example serial numbers for the particular calibre. I was hoping to find whether Cyma's serial numbering system related in anyway to the date or calibre. I'm used to the Seiko system. I am having trouble posting pictures to the site. I have posted pictures before but something must have changed. I'll need to read up again on how to do that.

Rob Hi Rob No, very rarely do we have serial numbering to caliber type (Hamilton does) So you have to search painstakingly through each movement, and being a bit of an expert as Roland surely is. We can usually narrow down to a date by style of face and/or movement Try posting pictures regards.
Is there a way to identify the calibre from this number? In a mass-production environment, serial numbers are usually assigned 'runs' or blocks of numbers, and usually all the watches produced in a single run will be the same caliber. The NAWCC waltham database (which is based on factory records), in an example of such as system, and since the factory records were available, we can (usually) tell what a Waltham is just by the serial. The American manufacturers were quite meticulous about these types of records; the swiss, somewhat less so.

The American manufacturers were quite meticulous about these types of records; the swiss, somewhat less so. Thats because these factories were in the vicinity of the NAWCC Museum That allowed them (especially with Hamilton) to get the 'dumped' records from these companies The people that lived and worked in these factories - also live close to the Museum The knowledge was contained, the records denoted to the Museum a.
