I have a situation that has confounded me on several watch movements. I carefully install the gear train, MS barrel and attach all the bridges. I double check that all the gears are seated properly and that the roller jewel is moving the pallet fork. Then I wind up the MS and nothing happens. I have taken the movement apart many times and put it back together with the same results. I have no idea what to do next. Book and internet instruction are fine, but if I'm stuck and have tried everything I have learned to no avail, I need one-on-one instruction. Since I know of no one nearby here in Hollywood Fl., the only other recourse is to send the movement to someone more experienced to determine what is wrong and explain how to fix it. Otherwise, I'm at an impasse and can go no further. I would really appreciate it if someone on this Forum could take the time to help out a struggling watch restorer in this way? I will certainly pay for the shipping both ways.
