What is this wheel for?

But inside a plastic bag or you’ll likely never see it again if you’re not used to doing it! Or a big blob of rodico at least...

Good advice.  Though,  as a beginner, I decided not to risk it and cleaned it assembled.

Well that didn't work out.  I did need a clean.  I removed it in the plastic bag but still lost it.  Amazing.  The part sheet calls it a "great wheel, assembled".   Is "clutch wheel" here the same http://cgi.julesborel.com/cgi-bin/matcgi2?ref=AS_2066

How do you get that clip back on?  How do hold the wheel steady?

Thanks

Charlie

If you look at the PDF provided above and I snipped out the image the parts you need as a number. That if you go to the website they indicated you just find the number which I did and that's the part you need. Then you can click on the part and get the link that I have below at least there's more than one watch using it which increases your likelihood of possibly finding it.

Then a note regarding the numbers you find on the link below This number is the bestfit number  203/145 That's unique for the part. Then we get the description  CENTER WHEEL, OFFSET. Then this part number itself is not unique in other words the 200/1 unless you add in the watch caliber number. That's because you could find a 200/1 for another caliber and it be entirely the wrong part.

    • All the best, family always comes first, and I believe you have made the right call that you mother deserves your full attention. However, when you need a little outside distraction the guys here will always be available for some banter or a heated discussion on lubrication 🤣.
    • Wire for what? if it's steel then only certain types of steel can be hardened ie high carbon steels: "Mild steel doesn't harden very well. It doesn't have enough carbon. Get something like O1, silver steel or if you want to go full watchmaker, then Sandvik 20AP". Source
    • I'm wondering if there's any specific type of wire I should get for hardening? I would assume it doesn't matter as long as the wire doesn't melt before it is at temp. 
    • Thanks Michael, sorry you were affected by this terrible condition. It can happen to anyone, 50's is the starting territory for it. My mum has been telling me for decades, " if i lose my marbles then shoot me",  my standard reply for that has always been " dont worry mum i bought the shotgun years ago ".  The same goes for me, not being able to communicate or comprehend is a very lonely place, now known to me as Aphasia. My mum had no warning of arriving there, I've had my warning and it was my mum that gave it to me. 
    • It's the hole in the mainplate that has become too big due to wear. I will try with some fine abrasive paper wrapped around a small file. I will start with 3000 grit and see what effect that has. Or I could try with a homemade burnisher. Anyway, I will post the result here soon.
