This is what I always used for French carriage clock cases the clear one. Paint it on with a very fine artists brush, it dries very quick. https://www.cousinsuk.com/product/lacquers-rapid-drying

I'm assuming you can't re-pivot the wheel. I would go for a replacement platform, just make sure the leaf count is the same, that is the the teeth on the escape wheel.

Which tool do I need to open this Wittnauer watch?
oldhippy replied to ngocchau's topic in Watch Repair Tools & Equipment
With this type you will find it also has a two piece stem, so you will need something to go behind the button and then pull, I always used a pair of nippers. -
Could you post photos of the movement and platform.

Well done that's the ticket. Always good to ask if you are not sure. On here we all like to help. Well done everyone.
