Hi, Sorry for the long delay of the results, but I`m back. So far so good I made some effort to sort the bending out.It is not an easy work to do but I liked it. The hairspring is far from being ready to be remounted, it still has some distortions that need repairing.Any advice, opinion is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

That was in a right mess to start with. A good restoration and it is looking great. Answer to your question about the top glass. It should have a retainer made out of brass. That is what those screws are for.1 point

Horolene contains (from published COSHH) : Propanone is another name for Acetone. So the old watchmakers recipe sound about right - solvent, ammonia, detergent and water.

I had the same issue. The new bergeon canon pinion mover tool does not work with the smaller pinions. Really annoying considering the price. Looking at the vintage versions of this tool they close to a finer setting. Maybe there now made in India !!!1 point

Minimum size is 1.0 mm . Most cannon pinions for smaller watches are 0.8 to 0.9 . But as you say Mark's tool looks different then yours. Can it be adjusted maybe? Like a pin vice?1 point
