So I've been lurking on the internet again and found a rabbit hole to explore. I was able to download 5 pdf's about Soviet watch repair. They're all in Russian and are scanned images, so unlikely to be useful to anyone that doesn't speak the language or is able to use some form of artificial intelligence to translate it. I just thought it might be of interest to some of you. А.П.Харитончук Устройство и ремонт часов.pdf Д.Д.Карл - Сложные часы и их ремонт.pdf Дональд Де Карль - Руководство ро ремонту часов.pdf Ремонт часов, 1968 - Пинсон.pdf Харинтончук А.П. Устройство и ремонт часов.pdf 6 pdf's* [A._P._Haritonchuk]_Spravochnaya_kniga_po_remontu_(libcats.org).pdf -

I did purchase of Elgin 16s the other day, I think one of them will work, but I have been focused on this Rolex bezel until now...maybe today I will see if I have a winner. -

Is this what you're looking for? A bit priced so you're probably best just getting a donor like this 247. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/256805393040

I have no pride. The subseconds pivot was broken when I got the watch. I filed it flat at the point in the arbor where the diameter changes. Chucked it up in the lathe and turned a center for drilling. Using a carbide drill bit, I proceeded to drill a hole. I was making progress and should have stopped, but I didn't. The drill broke off. Not the first time for this to happen. I considered making a new arbor from scratch. I have a mill and a precision indexed rotary table along with some cutting wheels that was part of a recent lot buy. I actually cut a pinion on brass stock just to see what the teeth profile were. I think I could do it, but did not know if my cutting wheel was HSS or something else, so I did not want to destroy a wheel on a fools errand. My metallurgical skills are weak to none, so the prospect of annealing, cutting, hardening seemed like more effort than it was worth even though it would be another great learning experience. So...I set it aside for now.
