    • It looks like it's missing the lower shock setting, have you got photos if the top of the balance?  The chaton can't of just disappeared. 
    • I don't seem to have any photos of this movement disassembled. Counting them up in my head, I can't actually come out with 21 jewels. I am only getting 18 or 19 if the impulse pin is a jewel (I don't think it is). The pin pallet jewels don't help all that much, since the escape wheel is still just as roughly stamped. But yes, interesting and weird. I have a couple of them.
    • It might work but as @JohnR725says it probably needs a service.  Give it a try but don't force anything. 
    • I am a retired panel beater, who spent most of my life stripping down and repairing various things for friends and family.  Family name - Mr. Fixit ! I took up watch repairs a couple of years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it, usually buying old broken watches and stripping them down to gain some experience. My brother in law recently asked me to have a look at his  Rolex Oysterdate 1959 model, as it was losing time when he wore it. I put it on my timegrapher and it was all over the place. When I put the watch on its side, with the winder upwards it actually stopped working. I removed the balance wheel and had a look through my microscope at the jewel on the main plate, I discovered the balance wheel lower pivot had cut a grove to the left side of the jewel and had gone right through to the other side, I would think this took a good number of years to happen. Any ideas if this is repairable or would I require a new main plate? Kind regards Tancho.
    • Will I push it a little further to the right?  It's losing about 5 mins in 24hours ATM
