It's a vernier I think but it's a cheap one. A sliding ruler type thing 2 point. 1 point on 1 side other opposite side. 

Tried it on crystals I know the size of and it's onlt been 0.1mm out on 6 crystals. Sorry if I am late answering I am thinking of buying a omega seamaster professional 300m james bond automatic it's a 2004 model Ltd edition I can have it for 1500 pound all papers and box and all service receipts.so been. A bit sidetracked

Measuring the inside of a case is pretty tricky. You need a vernier with fine points and you need to push the jaws open whilst simultaneously wiggling the gauge to ensure you get an accurate measurement. Then you need to read the scale before removing it. Ideally easiest to do this with a digital caliper.

    • I would harden and temper (to a light blue). It's so easy to do and only takes a couple of minutes.
    • Here is the insert ring for rectangular or elliptical movements: Note that the length is the side with the stem cut out on the spreadsheet (in the picture below this is 15.15: Here is the fake pdf file, again you need to convert to .zip after download to access the FreeCAD and 3mf files.

    • as you took the mainspring out what did it look like? It's amazing how much amplitude you can get if the mainspring actually has the proper shape. last week I was doing a 12 size Hamilton and was very much surprised with the beautiful back curvature the mainspring had. Then the watch had a really nice amplitude the group would be so proud it was 350 until I dropped the lift angle down to 38 that drop the amplitude quite a bit below 300. then with the beautiful back curve it still had really nice amplitude the next day. I really wish all my mainspring's look like this as the watch had beautiful amplitude the next day. So many of the aftermarket pocketwatch Springs I see now do not have anything resembling a back curve may be a slight curve and that's about all. They still work but they just don't work as nice as a properly made spring. then Omega as all sorts of nifty technical documentation unfortunately every single corner is watermarked with where it came from who downloaded it etc. very paranoid company. On the other hand I will snip out images like from the document on recycling a mainspring barrel. for instance here's the section on what your mainspring should look like. water damaged a lot of times means rust was there rust on this watch?
