Hello and welcome to the forum.   As Gary said pictures are a must along with a description on the problem and or the caliber number and maker.  usually found under the balance, on the back plate or rotor. then you will get as much help as you need.  As you are new to watches the attached will enlighten you somewhat, with names of parts and where they go.
