William Campbell Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 While trying to adjust the timing on my watch, the part, which I do not know what it is called, came off. There is a spring attached to it and it is just hanging off the watch. There is actually a piece of sharp wire that broke off the spring. The part looks like a circle and is located at the bottom center of photo. Can this be repaired? And would a watch smith be willing to do this type of work. I am afraid my watch is ruined.

ubiquitous Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 You'll need a new balance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroAvia Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 Well, repairable it certainly is. Easily repairable: that's a whole another story. The part that came off is related to the balance wheel assembly, and your report suggests broken pieces. If it is a new watch, contact the dealer; otherwise, take it to a watchsmith and ask his opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroAvia Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 Another picture, taken with the rotor in another position so as to show the balance wheel, would be useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
