  1. Follow these steps... Does it have a second hand... Yes = 3 H = 3 Hands, No = 2H = 2 Hands Where is the date... At 3 O'clock = 3D, at 6 O'clock = 6D Remove the old hour wheel and measure the height with a vernier gauge, if it is between 1.02 and 1.10 then it is normal Height. Otherwise you will need a high or low version. 75% of the time you will have the most popular version which it 955.412, 3H, 3D (Normal height, not HT0 or HT3) So that is 955.412, 3 Hands with the Date at 3. Suppliers all round the world will stock this version. Simples :-)

  2. I have destroyed hairsprings and I have repaired hairsprings. For me the microscope is essential. Your methods work for your and there is much to be said about thinking of and planning a strategic approach to the work. Good for you! RMD

  6. I am Dyslexic but never considered it a barrier to manipulating hairsprings. After distroying many Hairsprings I developed my own methods. For me stroking the hairspring with a pin works better than stroking it with a tweezer. Also a microscope was the other great help for me.

  7. Stripped a chiming wall clock movement today. Customer said it had just stopped. It was not that dirty cleaned the wheels plates etc and then found this. It's the first wheel that drives the watch movement side I presume this is not repairable. It also needs re-bushing but with this there is now no point.
