HI

These are two pallets 1 old and  i just purchased. They both do not have the little nipple thing that goes into the jewel hole.Surely this is wrong?

Or is this another silly beginners mistake?

Movement is as 1506.

The docs on cousins show the part but not so you can see the bit you wanna see.IMG_20200916_153323.thumb.jpg.17652f861726df8876608779a3362859.jpgIMG_20200916_153035.thumb.jpg.66de19df16f796a8fb4307e08fe84b7e.jpgIMG_20200916_153355.thumb.jpg.43cbb87e73cceb939abd2b1405d60acd.jpg

looks like were all in agreement the pivots appear to be missing. Then what about the guard pin is that important even if you had the pivots? Plus the other one looks bent but I can't tell from the angle the photograph..

then depending upon the availability of the correct tools you don't really need a new pallet fork providing to guard pin is still there but that's the kind a guard pin you can replace. All you need is a pallet fork arbor. You can it take the old one out the measure it except you're missing the pivots or the site below shows two of them and no I don't know why there's two of them and yes they both have separate numbers so there has to be a reason that there's two of them it's just not obvious.

Ditto this. The pictures are a little blurry but my very first observation was that the guard pin appeared to be missing.

      Movement inserted from crytal side

      Before putting it back in the case I would fit the hands and use a pin vice on the stem to make sure the hands were in line.

      Put the movement in a movement holder and it will be supported as you push down on the setting lever post to release the winding stem. Make sure the post is over the shoulder of the movement holder so what you are pressing down on is supported. As a general rule, hold the movement and not the movement holder. Replace the hands when the movement isn't in the case and support the centre jewel (if it has one) on a hard surface or staking block when replacing the hands to stop the jewel accidentally moving or even coming out. A dedicated movement holder with a central jewel support is even better, but pricey

      Movement inserted from crytal side

      Hi, guys I have a bit of a predicament and hopefully, somebody can advise. I'm working on a Roamer MST 521 where the movement is extracted from the crystal side. I'm now at the final hurdle where I need to replace the movement back into its case but I'm not sure of the correct procedure. I still need to fit the hands but that's where the problem lies. If I insert the winding stem to test the hands for correct alignment I will need to turn the movement over to release the stem again it's the spring-loaded type and needs a small bit of force to push down but with the hands fitted, I don't think I can do this on a cushion without causing some damage to the hands and that's the last thing I want to do, this watch has already been a love-hate relationship and I'm so close to boxing this one off which I'm counting as my first major project.  The other option is to case the movement then fit the hands and hope everything is okay. I've already broken the original winding stem but managed to find a replacement, the last one in stock, so I'm a bit reluctant to keep removing it. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
