Cock jewel removal from New-York Standard pocket watch

[rickyb]

Hello,  it might be really easy to remove the jewels from the balance cock of a New York standard pocket watch,  grade 81 model 2 ( the other grdes of New York standard have the same setting.) The cock is splt on top and the jewel fits in a horizontal slit in the cock. Do you Pry it out ? Is it easypeasy?

One of the problems in watch repair is we tend to be visually oriented. This means when asking a question it's always helpful to give pictures. Because while we probably will not recognize the model number at all often times we look at the picture will say all you do this versus Having no idea at all what you're talking about.

Yea, that is true. Here are some pictures. I hope it's that easy removing the jewels.

It looks like a friction fit jewel you just need a jeweling tool to push it out.
