A photo is handy, but its not a 1:1 copy. The book is really good because you literally can use the picture of the suspension spring to set up your own by laying the spring on the page and see if it has exactly the same dimensions. I am planning to buy this book just have to prioritize because there are many things I want to buy and sometimes I am buying things I was not planned to. :)

everyone beat me to it, the 400 day clock book is excellent,  I too have it as i picked up an anniversary clock last year that needed a new spring as the brocante shop owner spun the weights and knackered the spring.

The book is invaluable and as has been said is a must for repairing these clocks, as for a 1 to 1 picture i do not think that will be possible on the forum via a picture. 

What exactly are you trying to work out from the picture mate?

Hi, I want to have the exact measures of the suspension spring and how to set it up. As far as I was told mms do count. If somebody would be able to scan the page with a printer maybe it would be 1:1, but its not superimprotant I think. There are so many things to do that I can wait till the book arrives.

    • can I ask why you're not happy? did you notice that the acceptable low 24 hour amplitude of this watch is 160°? is there any possibility that a watch company could manufacture a watch that could actually run at a low amplitude and keep time? so if they can run at 160° at 24 hours and keep time then they probably would keep time at 240° which yours seems to be doing? then if you're really unhappy with this I would recommend purchasing an original Omega mainspring. Just because the aftermarket have numbers like an Omega mainspring it doesn't mean it's the same thing. Then I would also recommend replacing the escape wheel and the pallet fork. This is what they do in the Swatch group service center if they are unhappy with anything on the other hand they have an infinite supply of spare parts.    
    • That was reason for asking for mark's input, i wasn't sure if going ahead with dealing with the contact information would be particularly well received. @oldhippy thoughts ?
    • @JohnR725 has pointed out many times that the Swiss don't care about amplitude, the timekeeping is the most important.  Give yourself a  pat on the back, great beat error and timekeeping, nothing to be disappointed about. 
    • I'm bothered but I agree he's a busy man and I don't want to bother him.  In the meantime, we really do need to have other ways of contacting each other  
    • This is as complicated as epilame, too many unknowns. The life expectancy in the UK is circa 80, so most people from 1944 or earlier are dead.  Assume they had children at circa 20, they died in 2004. Their children started selling 1944 watches in 2004, so pre-1944 watches must be getting more rare.   It doesn't work though because as you stated some were sold as tat, but since watch prices have increased people have decided to sell when they may not of done in the past.
