I agree, I call it a pallet fork for two reasons, it was the name used when I started watch repair both in written documents and on videos and calling it a lever causes confusion as seen. Plenty of other examples where there's more than one name. What do you call the opposite side of the movement from the dial side? I've heard you call it the watch makers side. -

Nice interesting diver Razz, i have a sheffield dress watch, different movement altogether. Could be a wrong motion works part, how does the setting feel before fitting the cannon pinion, clutch and intermediate wheel meshing ok ? The less traditional setting design could be suspect, the second wheel has a slip clutch assembly, that most likely needs looking at. LA is 42 ° Razz Tbh i much prefer to call the complete unit the lever, then use the seperate names for all of its components. Such as guard pin, fork, fork horns, fork slot, lever arm, pallets , pallet arms, pallet slot, pallet stones. I suppose pallet fork is the combination of the two opposite ends that make up the lever, its also called the anchor which is descriptive of its appearance. Its a pretty basic 1930s swiss lever movement H and yes Nev was meaning the pallet fork. -

The pallet fork should really be called a lever, English lever, Swiss lever etc but most people including myself call it a pallet fork. -

Seiko have case numbers, I can't see it on your photos. If you can find that we can look for a genuine crown. If not, you need to measure the diameter of the stem, the distance between the lugs and the depth of the lugs. The case number will be something like this. -
I'm not sure what kind of movement this is, but I'm curious to know if you're using the word "lever" as a synonym for "pallet fork"?
