Gear Transplant and Trimming Pivot

Replacing a 3rd wheel and needing the trim the pivot a bit to reduce friction.

Did you leave the finish from the degussit stone? A burnished (jacot tool) finish would be more appropriate, considering the watch's quality especially. Stones never have a very sharp corner too. Did the amplitude pick up? In the vid of the watch running it had around 200 degrees, maybe 210; maybe the lift angle is set wrong?

I burnished it after for the final finish. It ended up with an amplitude of around 285 which is pretty good. I actually still need to check it’s magnetism but other than that, I’m don’t with this watch: so many repairs:)
