Thanks for the prompt response. I apologise for not stating the issue more clearly. The problem is that - what I now know I should have called - the centre wheel is not being turned by the pinion (which is driven by the barrel) with which it shares the arbour (1st photo above). The pinion & arbour are indeed reverse threaded but the arbour (the 'screw') is clearly damaged ('rounded' rather than 'sharp' threads) with swarf evident. When the pinion is screwed on there is only enough connection to prevent the pinion being lifted off but not enough to stop it turning on the arbour. Is a (reversible) repair (threadlocker?) possible in the short term while a replacement centre wheel assembly is sought so that the viability otherwise of the watch can be established? -
Sorry this is a bit late but how did it go for you? I'm working on a 561 with a similar issue. Cheers, Martin -
I'm struggling to put it back so I'm going to watch a tutorial so may be a few hours. -

Let us know if that fixes the problem. -
Richard I edited my post. The shock setting was loose! It was hidden.
