    The following share the same balance staff so may be good for swapping parts:
    214, 215, 216, 217, 11416, 235, 236, 237, 11318

    The Ronda balance complete number is 2300

    Also don't forget some of the old material houses kept calling them Tavannes instead of Cyma.

    234

    Been told by one reliable repairer that the balance wheel in the WWW Cyma 234 is slightly different to the standard civilian one so my search continues!!!!!!!!

    If it is it shouldn't matter much as you can get staffs easily enough so just re staff it. The balance can then be re poised and if needed vibrated to match the hairspring.

    If your watchmaker can't do it, then I can.
