Here is the catch of the day for this one an L.W.C pocket watch.
1. Balance pivot jewel
2. Balance pivot
3.third wheel pinion 

I already rubbed in a new jewel and begun the hunt for the parts.. never a dull moment with pocket watches.

This is off centre as well and a screw missing. 

Yes there was a screw missing in the regulator cap.  probably the cause of how the balance got out of position. Makes one wounder when it fell off since it's obviusly been working for a while grinding the jewel to pieces and as you say slightly of center. All the Pictures are of the broken pieces.
The setting lever screw isn't missing just still lying in the parts bin. When and if the new parts gets aquired the complete watch comes together....

That is a bit of work. You need to cut a new balance staff as the pivot is broken.

      Balance cock stud screw

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      As Richard said, this is a really old school trick for joinery.  Cut i strip of paper, might need to be watch paper  around 1 " x 1/2" lay it over a staking block then press the stud screw into and through the edge of the paper upto the head of the screw. You probably wont even need to pull the paper away the head will pull itself through.

      Waltham 6/0 d winding stem

      By ooteenie · Posted

      Hello,  i am looking to source a winding stem (winding arbor) for a waltham 6/0 d movement. I have found some that claim to fit 6/0, 6/0s, 6/0b etc and somealso claim they will also fit the d as well. The d does have hacking which is driven by the stem seating completely. Given some of the costs of these, i was hoping someone would know of any interchangeability with a source, or know a source where a confirmed 6/0 d stem can be had. I am in the US so a US dealer is best.    thanks in advance.

      So great to see and hear- your mum looks great! …my mil had a stroke last summer in the golf course parking lot. I’m flying out tomorrow to visit and play golf. she’s ornery because she can’t get off the tee but I hear she makes up for it on the greens since she’s been putting since a week after her stroke 🧐…
