I had the day off so I continued to disassemble my pocket watch to see what issues I was facing.
I started by removing the movement from the case. I was surprised that it was similar to the watch in our course in that it swings out.
While pulling the stem out so that the movement would swing out, the stem came all the way out, so I removed the stem, sleeve and crown. I noticed that it was the type
that didn't need the sleeve removal tool.
If you look at the photo's I attached, there are two hand cut or Square shaped washers or spacers between the sleeve and crown.
Can any one tell me if these were added during a previous repair job or original design?
I did discover the reason the watch would not wind. The main Spring had slipped off the barrel hook of which I was able to place it back on with little problems.
Now here comes the bad news. When I removed the balance wheel and cock I noticed that the roller jewel is missing. Is that going to be a major pain to replace?
How do I replace just the jewel, are there different sizes to consider or is it better just to replace it with a new table with the new jewel already in it?
Well enough for know. Sorry I had so many questions.
I hope that some one in our group has had similar problems and can lead me down the right path.
Thanks again
