While servicing a Rolex 3135, I was surprised to find blued screws that were only blued on top of the screw head—not even the screw slot. For a while, I thought I might be dealing with a counterfeit movement, but that suspicion was fortunately later put to rest. Anyway, have a look at these two pictures and please take the poll! Oh, and if you're interested in knowing more about that Rolex Calibre 3135, click here! -

Seen this quite a few times, micro fractures in the steel, humidity, corrosion fatigue ? The shock from a single break likely causes a chain reaction throughout all the fractures. -
I don't know, but could it be the Citizen Calibre 0100, used in the Citizen AQ6010-06A and similar high-end models? https://www.ablogtowatch.com/citizen-caliber-0100-worlds-most-accurate-watch-review/

It wasn’t superglue - it was springy and didn’t set solid like superglue does. But I find acetone gets rid of everything! The broken spring was blued steel. I have the watch running with good amplitude - I just need to get the beat error fixed and then I will post some pics -
From the 1850s to the 1930s, the U.S.A. was a world leader in watchmaking, especially in industrial innovation, precision, and reliability — and was very much considered a producer of some of the best watches in the world at that time. I wonder if that industry will ever come back to the U.S.A. Perhaps the Trump tariffs will stimulate initiatives in that direction. Probably not, but it would be nice to see more competition.
