Finished! Well, not quite, but I've done all I can. I used the original hand for the minute counter. The running seconds hand is a central seconds hand with an extended tube - I just snapped off the long bit. It works I think. As I couldn't source an hour reset hammer I left the hour counter hand off. I hope the owner will be happy. It's all working and keeps good time. I did recommend he got a professional to do a proper job, and he could still do that in future if he wanted to sell. -

possibly a threaded gear or t-piece stem, I can not see inside the gear recess an ascertain if it contains a screw.....I am sure someone here has delt with one of these case crowns....

@JohnR725 The balance bridge is from the donor. I don’t think it’s bigger…It’s probably the same diameter but the center is displaced relative to the center of the hole in the baseplate. Not by much, obviously. What I was thinking of doing was just “shaving” off the smallest amount possible from the side of the pin where I think it’s creating friction. But @nevenbekriev wanted me to wait, so… 🙂 -
I remember the first few times I used my cheap crystal lift, the jaws did not open fully. But with the screw extended I could pull them open with fingers and afterwards it worked fine. Also 50mm is like a medium alarm clock size for a crystal...
