The Cousins spring will come with a "tongue end", which, if you have a hook in the barrel that worked with a hole end before will work A-OK with the tongue end. Length wise, there's a lot of leeway with it until you get to really small stuff (try fitting a spring with 20mm extra length in a JLC 852 caliber with a 5mm barrel inner diameter haha). The Cousins spring will work fine. Additionally, the way the fusee works you don't actually use the whole length or "number of turns of wind" that the barrel can produce. It will make about 6 turns of wind, and the fusee will use about 4 to 5 of that. -
Thanks. Only 2 options come up: 2.50 x 0.20 x 17 x 580 or 2.50 x 0.20 x 15.5 x 480 The original spring was: 2.50 x 0.20 x 17 x 410 Not sure where to go from here, my instinct is to go for the 15.5 x 480 as the spring is still longer than the original, even though it is for a smaller barrel?? -
There are a few bad teeth on that wheel, that is due to the spring breaking. Lucky the chain didn't snap. You might be lucky with ebay. -
Hi I got this watch in a job lot but I’ve been unable to identify the movement. The only numbers are 411.7 on the plate and 7 under the balance. I like the look of the watch so would like to repair it. Any help identifying the movement would be appreciated. An opinion on the dial would also be appreciated, the crown and lettering look ok to me but I’m certainly no expert. There are service dates on the dial and case but I can only really make out one which is in 1944. thanks -
Search for the barrel diameter vs the length and make sure you have the height correct and strength close (thickness.)

Hi all. First-time poster here. I need to remove the movement and crystal from this watch so that I can send the case to be replated. I've been looking at videos and tutorials on how to remove the winding stem, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to do it on this watch. I know it should be a relatively simple operation, and the guy at my local jeweller was going to charge me $45 to do the disassembly, so here I am!
The problem is that I don't see any arrow, or "dimple" that I'm supposed to push down on, or anything. Or if it's a screw release, I don't know which screw to unscrew. The watch in question is a quartz Rotary with a French movement and the number "3984" etched on the back.
