Thank you! If you shop from CousinsUK.com you can either get a Generale Ressorts mainspring replacement (GR3149X) or an original barrel complete. Good luck with your Tag!

I got one from Cousins thanks VWatchie. 

I fell hook line and sinker for the slipped yoke over the sliding pinion on setting the movement back in the case.

I took it out went in dial side  to rectify. Put it right and somehow lost / misplaced the the setting wheel. I have ordered a new one from Cousins. Today I discovered Mark Lovichs video on how to rectify on the rotor side of the movement. If only I had checked first! The movement is fully serviced and now waiting for the new setting wheel. The best bit is where Mark tells his secret how to avoid slipping the yoke in the first place.

PULL THE CROWN AND STEM OUT TO THE SETTING POSITION FIRST BEFORE REMOVING SAID CROWN AND STEM!

If only I had watched the video first I wouldn't have lost the setting wheel and spent a good 2 hours looking for it in vain.

I will remember this forever. 

Many thanks to Mark Lovich for his informative videos.
