Poljot 3133 Stopwatch Start/stop Lever Installation

[zlyzenon]

Hi, my name is Peter, I'm new to collecting watches. I have found this forum while looking for some instructions how to install stopwatch start/stop lever on 3133 movement. Maybe somebody here will find a moment to help me. I've bought watch with broken off piece of stopwatch start/stop lever. I ve got two replacement parts already but none of them seems to fit.

After installation lever is to stiff or too wobbly depends on how tight i screw it on. There is small cut out in movement body, I suspect that one end of lever should fit there and move inside. Unfortunately all my levers (including broken one) are too long...

Thank You

Hi, thank you Jonathan and Geo! I have managed to fit levers at last!

 

Small hairspring which is part of lever should press one lever arm (not go between arms) then enough space is released and lever fit into cut out. 

 

I had few moments of despair because this small piece of... metal :-)
