Welcome to the forum Fuse63.

It would be a hood idea to post a picture of the balance cock assembly that you are working on as there are a few different ways that the end of the hairspring could be attached.

I have not worked on a 601 myself, but having looked at the balance assembly, I would agree that the screw head you are referring to would rotate the keeper on the other side and free the spring. Normally you can rotate the keeper or boot as it is sometime referred to in either direction, whether this is like that I do not know. Make sure that you dress a screwdriver to be a snug fit before attempting to turn the keeper.

Its the same as this one. I need to open the guard that is on the regulator pin. There is what looks like to be a screw on top but when i try to turn it it wont move and i dont want to force it if this isnt the correct way. Im assuming it is but am not 100% sure

The screw is on the other side i think . You will have to remove the complete balance cook with the balance and everything . Turn it upside down and there should be a slot in the regulator . Or what it's called in english ?

      Citizen Technical Info

      attached is the tech /parts sheet. .   Can one ask how come it’s full of water. After being told that the waterproofing was not guaranteed.  Problem being electronics don’t mix especially withe the power source being attached.  You may be lucky but I should look out for a replacement movement or working donor to rob the movement from.

      Breitling Navi Heritage (ETA 2892A2) seconds subdial skippiness...

      By JeremyLaurenson · Posted

      I thought this may be "right" forum to post this. After 7 months out in Switzerland I got my Navitimer back from Breitling. I had sent it off since its 20 years old to have a complete overhaul done... Nothing major wrong, but I did notice this seconds sundial skipping thingy.... $1300 later and 7 months later, I notice the 'skips' are still here unless the chronometer is engaged. I would think this is likely the hand binding up and maybe clearance with the dial, but at any rate Im interested as to whether this is something I should be returning the watch to Breitling for and insisting on being fixed. See below - 1 minute or so of regular running and then 1 minute with the chronograph engaged.

      Unknown mechanism

      By Giogrlj · Posted

      A friend of mine just gave me an old pocket watch. The case is in very bad condition but the movement itself seems to be in a quite good shape. I can't identify which movement is this, since I have to find a missing winding stem. I attach few photos in a case somebody would be able to give some hints.  Thank's folks

      How to recognize radioactive watches.

      By WatchesFarm · Posted

      Hello everyone, I recently received a request for advice on purchasing a vintage watch, a Waltham A-11 ORD. DEPT. I asked if they were aware that these types of watches have radioactive hands and dials... but they had no idea what I was talking about. So, I thought of creating a video that could help recognize them, starting from the distinctive details to using a Geiger counter. I hope you like it and find it useful for those venturing into the world of vintage watches. Bye.
