Hi on the other side of the balance there is a brass screw which contains the "V conic bearing" if you back off this screw you should have enough room to drop the balance in then do up the screw with just enough tension to hold it then fit the balance spring and wedge then re adjust the balance end shake. -
hi I don't half pick em. Why has this watch got no lugs? How would you were it? It has no kind of connection type at all, like you could not were it as a nurse would, and there's no loop or anything for a chain. It appears pointless. Please put me out of my misery. cheers gary

I did a quick file check on my spares. Don't know about your stakes but mine are soft, so I'll be able to machine em in the lathe no problem. -

Hi like I said before just take your time and don't get frustrated, because putting a Timex back together can be frustrating. Lining up all the wheels and dropping on the plate. Pinning the spring will be a bit daunting first time around but gets easier with practice. all the best -

On many stems the thread is smaller than the bearing diameter. So, watchmaker mode, normally I hold the stem in the lathe in a collet, right next to the thread, do adjustments, fit crown, out. Without a lathe we'd hopefully grab the stem in pinvice on the diameter that bears in the plate and bridge* then do the work. You don't want to grab anything other than just before the thread as you're into "after detent" territory there and the stem is very weak there, often 0.5m. or less, easy to break things tightening crowns
