Guys, could you look at the photos and see if by your experience this pallet comes apart? I need to drill it to fit a new pivot as one has snapped. The smallest collet i have is 1.4 mm so I might need to put it in my larger lathe with a 3 jaw chuck and a dedicated drill tail stick to drill and fit the new pivot. Really annoyed as the movement was going when I realised that I put the ratchet wheel on the wrong way round, proceeded to strip the movement happy that it was going and somehow, don’t know how the pivot got snapped on the pallet so a bit miffed now as I know I don’t have one of these in the spares box!!! cheers for any help

Hi, I have a Waltham 1899 Riverside pocket watch with a broken pallet fork pivot. I'm searching for a replacement fork from a scrap movement. The movement I have is 19 jewels, built in 1906. I am challenged to find the exact same movement as a "AS IS" unit in the usual places, but I see much better selection of other Waltham 16 size movements of the same vintage - the odd 17J Riverside but many more 15J 620, and 17J 625 and 635 examples.Can I replace the pallet fork in my Riverside with one from these lesser, but more common models? - Robert

Hey guys. A friend asked me why the pallet fork will jump to one side but not the other. Any thoughts. I figured magnetized but we struck out there.

Does this pallet fork look right to you folks? It seems like it should not be bent but straight. The watch barely runs with very low amplitude. Does one dare straighten it? The concern is that it came that way to work properly and I have some other problem going on? Any advice or comments would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

And stopps after 6-7 seconds. Is the reason that the end stone is msiplaced? Must I buy new pallet fork? This cannot be glued? Shall I replace the escapment wheel as well? As usual, thanks for alle help.... Armand

Dear All, Thank you in advance if you have knowledge in this arena. I am trying to bring a bruised Piaget 12p back to life. On close inspection the pallet fork has had it. Does anyone know if the 9p/12p pallet forks are interchangeable? There is a 12p fork on the bay but it is pricey, about the same cost as a whole 9p... Do I dare ask if anyone has a parts/oiling diagram for these movements? As always, your input is greatly appreciated, Mute
