Hello Together 

I have mainly worked on much bigger movements in the past 1.5 years. Now I've come across this lovely platinum case watch which doesn't work. I'd like to give it a closer look, but sadly, I can't manage to the get the movement out of its case. There is half of a crew head visible at 1. o'clock, but it did not turn, applying just light pressure with my screwdriver. Is turning that screw the right thing to do here? 

Thanks in advance for your time and advice. 

Sincerely, 

thebosston

      Is this a 'hack' ?

      By dnhb · Posted

      The plate is OK, thanks. It seems the answer to my question is that this is a 'hack' & for me another reminder that in general, one won't be the first person to be tinkering with an old timepiece!. As you day, I've been fortunate to have gotten some good advice and, just as important, encouragement. I've been lucky then not to have the balance spring break as a result of my novice 'ministrations' - but I did remember to 'stroke' rather than bend per se. The clock is of sentimental value to the owner so I'm relieved to have now got it running to time with the support & encourage of forum members like yourself.

      In think you are effectively shortening the coil by shorting out damaged tracks. In my case as long as the continuity was good and the resistance not too greatly affected it should be ok .  One was on an era  movement,
