Lip r25 - Shock Setting

[Murks]

can someone help please a have this watch the escape wheel part jewel cap is missing do a need to replace the whole jewel? have notice I'm getting loads end shake and side.

 Cap jewel limits the end shake only. Excessive side shake is due to pivot/ jewel wear or possibly broken jewel. A watch might run acceptably without end stone on escape pivot.

A want to know if this is a brass bush fitted on this movement and on the dial side it looks like It has a incabloc spring that goes on my escape wheel pivot are not seating on the jewel I'm getting end and side shake how can a resolve this ?

In the last picture it gives the impression that the setting , cap jewel and spring are miss in altogether.    have you looked at Dr Ranfft's site for the lip   "ranfft lip r25" should bring up the page.

As @watchweasolsays, it does looks like the internals of a shock protection device are missing...chaton, cap and spring. Hopefully nothing else has been robbed from the movememt.  Can we see a picture of the dial side pivot? This might give a clue to the type of anti shock.

This is the dial side pivot pic could you give me a clue to the type of anti shock if I'm order it what do look for?

Really sorry for the slow reply, I've been away. The balance pivot (the lower right one in the image immediately above) on yours looks similar to the movement pictured on Dr Ranfft's database (but in the photo yours is missing the cap jewel in its setting). In your other thread Lip R25 the train bridge has a recess for a cap jewel of similar design to the one in Dr Ranfft's database as well. So there seems to be a mismatch between the escapement jewels fitted to the main plate and the bridge. I think the mainplate may have been modified and it's going to be hard to fix (it would be for me anyway)
