Additional information for you, Have a look at the watchfix courses by our administrator. Mark Lovick for a little more in depth training. Watch_tools_tipps.pdf TZIllustratedGlossary.pdf -
The key is to try and find what the movement is and if there are no other numbers or markings on the movement then the next step would be using the like of BestFit based on the size and keyless works. The top one below is a Normal Bridle with no kind of end termination. What does the existing end termination look like.

Daniel, I guess You actually asked if the accuracy of the watch was improved after jewels added. One would not expect such accuracy improvement. The watch accuracy depends on many things and most of them are related to the balance and escapement. Well, it depends what is considered to be a no jeweled watch. If this is pin pallet watch wit cone balance pivots, then, believe me, replacing balance staff with one with cylindrical pivots in jewels will only worsen the things. Cone shaped pivots in cup bearings actually work better than cylindrical, the only problem is that they wear faster. And, it will be hard to impossible to replace the pallet pins with ruby pins... The watch accuracy depends maimly on the balance and escapement adjustments ad it is no related to the presence of jewels. Adding jewels to the train wheel bearings may only lead to some amplitude increasing, and it is not sure too. -
Thank you so much! I'll experiment a bit with the UV glue and chalk and maybe eventually try to fill the hole. I'll report back!

How did you know to shorten the bottom pivot and not the top? It sounds like something is rubbing when in the dial up position.
