Firstly sorry for poor image quality I only have an iPhone for photos. Im working on a 512 movement and I’ve had some trouble with the “jewels”. I’ve got the metal one out, but when I tried to put it back the three sides of the spring seem to need pressing all at once to fit it as there are three “holes”. I get two corners in but as I go for the third the first two pop out! Constantly I’ve lost the spring. I’ve done the similar ones on seiko movements without trouble. Assuming I find it/a replacement, what am I missing! on the other side with the only ruby in the movement is a setting with no “gap”at all. How do I get the spring out, and of course get it back in! What am I missing! thanks in advance. Rob -
Links like that are the reason I routinely donate to the Internet Archive - they are the last safe house for a tremendous amount of useful info that is otherwise lost. -

There must be a ring around the movement that is not a part of the case and the movement will get out together with the ring. -
I have just messaged Mark about this problem. I'm not receiving any as well. I'll give you an up date when Mark replies.
