RWG Technical Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 The most likely problem is the top jewel for the balance wheel has fallen out. It needs to be looked at by a watchsmith, it's not a do it yourself repair... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diab0lik Posted October 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 damn do you have any idea how much it should cost? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWG Technical Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 No idea. If as I suspect the jewel has fallen out, it needs to be located and could be wedged somewhere inside the movement. I would not wind it or do anything else to it until someone looked at it. It could also be that the top balance staff pivot is broken off...

FxrAndy Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 Probably a simple fix for any one with any kind of experience on unitas style movements, have you rand round local watch smiths and inquired if they would work on some thing not quite legit.
