Pr potential watch parts! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Believe so - bought a bag of them from roosters (or) cousins but none are quite the same. Most of the ones I bought are made from round wire - this was a rectangular wire. Hmmm - many years ago when I had acne I tried to learn the guitar (didn't work - I'm tone deaf), and I still have (the guitar - not made of camphor wood though, plus) a load of old strings....

I don't think the OP is selling but I would please ask him to post in English only, to avoid others having to use a translator.

Broken pallet arbor pivot ? You have two options : repivoting or turn a new arbor. I don't have the stuff and the skill to turn between centers, so i tried repivoting : 1. True the broken face 2. Mark the center (use a x20 eyeglass ) 3. Drill (0.3mm) with a carbide drill on the lathe , depth around 2 to 3 times the diameter of the drill 4. Turn the plug, make some test and try until you find the right diameter (you must be 1/100 larger than the hole). Add a notch at approximately the dimension of the pivot plus the depth of the hole 5. Set the plug at low speed until the notch break (don't forget to add some Loctite 603) 6. Secure the plug with a light hammer 7. Finish the pivot (0.18mm) Drilling on the lathe, i use a ER11 collet holder in the tailstock from GG tools, go very very slowly. Finished pallet, unfortunately i broke a stone in the process and had to replace it, i believe it's a shock with the tool rest when finishing the pivot , so be very careful !

As far as learning watch repair goes you're in the right place. All sorts a help to be found here. But if you're only trying to do one watch then not sure how helpful we can be. This is because even to do one watch there certain base items you need and after that an infinitely long list of tools you will never have all the tools you ever need. So to start off with tweezers, movement holder, loupe, Screwdrivers, variety of forms a lubricants and the tools for applying the lubricants. Then you didn't say the condition conceivably cleaning supplies. So the watches currently in pieces why? They usually came assembled so how did this one end up in pieces? Then the advice to the beginner is never starts with something that you want to keep. The reason for this is the likelihood of success with your first watch is almost nonexistent. You'd need a lot of practice assembling disassembling getting your hand eye coordination right. Basically a lot of practice on something that you don't care about. So a watch like this is challenging to do because it appears to be a watch that really wasn't meant to be serviced perhaps. The reason is the entire gear train is hidden under one plate limited number of screws. At least it has screws modern versions are usually welded together. So with a problem is a variety of ways to go about solving the problem. So first we can identify what this is that is covered in the first link. Once we identify what it is we can Google and there's a surprising amount of information like the second link which basically shows you what you need to know to put it back together. But lubrication isn't covered and as you reassemble you will have to lubricate it's not something can be done afterwords. Then before even starting we should probably get some pictures of your pieces. Reason why we need to see pictures and is depending upon how it came to be in pieces if the person disassembly didn't grasp what they were doing things can be permanently damaged. http://www.ranfft.de/cgi-bin/bidfun-db.cgi?11&ranfft&0&2usau&1132761612 http://17jewels.info/movements-en/movements-b-en/movements-b-bifora-en/279-bifora-2025.html
