Yeah I have the cheap one. But I think you are correct and they are reversible I hadn't tried turning them other but I see it in the picture (I am at work can't check the actual holders right now). I'll probably get better one at some point but right now there has been a lot of tools to buy to start so I am cheaping out on some things. I am quite happy that I did get a microscope because working with a loupe was just not working for me at all. next big stuff coming is ultrasonic machine, cleaning solution (99.9% IPA and Naphta) and lubricant (Moebius 8000 and Molikote DX for now). -
I’ll be getting into them sometime this year, my grandfather’s pocket watch was one of the reasons I got into this rabbit hole. Funny enough last week whilst I was replacing a couple of batteries for the missus she done the old “I just remembered something “ and wandered off. A couple of minutes later she hand me her father’s and grandfather’s pocket watches. Apparently she got them from her brother years ag because I was into watches and thought I might like them. Not looking forward to looking at her grandmothers watch, solid gold and the head is pretty much the size of my little finger nail. Tom

Hi Murks, I would just measure the old spring and order a generic one closest I can to size. Especially on thickness and height, length doesn’t matter so much as long as the difference isn’t huge. Tom

As it’s Seiko have you tried a search in cousinsuk crystal section using the case reference? Tom Had a Quick Look, 310W13GN00 looks like the part number you need but every listing I have found is a discontinued line. You might want to measure up the one you have and look through the sternkruetz catalog, here is a download link http://www.sternkreuz.de/accordion/assets/Sternkreuz_Gesamtkatalog G22.pdf Tom

I've got a similar one, but never had to use it yet. I would try a couple of M4 (or whichever) washers under each blade, and possibly longer countersunk machine screws, either hex or torx drive so the blades can be really solidly locked down. It does not appear there can be much depth of thread in the blocks above the slide shafts, so matching the screw length to the blade height is probably quite important.
