Hey

Im trying to fit a new balance spring to the balance bridge on a roamer caliber mst 352 and im sure its not right on the bridge or am i mistaking?

I don't know if I really understand your question but the pics look like the regulator pin is missing.

Yep, regulator pin is broke off. Can be replace if you got a staking set. Otherwise you need a whole regulator arm.

God i hate when that happens

It also looks like the end of the boot has broken off as well. The part that stops the hairspring from falling out between them, but it's hard to tell from your photo

Cousins (UK) have the boots but can't see any pins, but these are simple item that you could maybe make yourself.

You could probably find an other arm that fits. I have done that lots of times . They usually have a standard . Think that cousisnuk have a arms with fitted regulating boots.

Here is a potential parts donor. The regulator looks in good shape. This may be outside of the financial logic of your watch, but sometimes the investment pays off down the road with other projects.
