The outer watch case back looks as though it may have had some markings but they are long since worn away. However, the inside of the watch case back has a few markings which look hand inscribed rather than stamped. They are: addio ABABA N94P8/43 189168 SJN + JHN Do these mean anything to anyone?

Thank you nicklesilver and Nucejoe. I'll give those suggestions a try. I experienced parts flying out of the cheap ($4), stiff set of tweezers I started with. These tweezers encourage a more delicate touch.

Many thanks for this guide - its definitely way ahead of where I am right now but I'm reading it with interest!

Visual comparison of pivot's OD on new and old arbours is near impossible, I guess they are the same or about the same, since the new pivot did fit into the jewel, if the fork doesn't move freely something is wrong there. common causes are; craked jewel, thick or bent pivots, coned pivot fitted into flat jewels.

Question
JohnTosto 1
Hello everyone
this is only my second post (1st in intro).
I have a project pocket watch that I am working on (something for my younger son he like ww2 era ) lucky for me there seems to be a lot of scrappers out there (couple wheels had a bent or broken pivot) however not the greatest luck getting one with a good balance shaft.
I would like to try my hand at balance replacement, I have staking set tool and other necessary tools, below are the pocket watch details.
I found the manufactures part number for the balance shaft (861) but then quickly discover (after searching ebay) there are a few version how do I determine which is the correct one, both pivots are gone.
