Finding a pallet fork for a as1568 alarm watch

[RobS]

I’ve been working on an alarm watch i found that it wasn’t running due to broken pallet fork pivot. Unfortunately I can’t for the life of me find a replacement short of buying a whole new watch! I don’t know if any other fork will be compatible. 

thoughts?

The makers mark inside said it was serviced 2 years ago, I don’t know what they did with it but I’ve never seen a movement so gummed up. Also had a very rusty movement holder screw and missing dial screw. For comedy value even with wooden tipped tweezers the lume fell out of the hands as soon as I picked them up. I think I have everything else sorted on the movement now. 
 

the pivot labelled 1 in my photo was so smooth at first I thought it was supposed to be like that! I even got the watch to run pretty well over night as is! Adding to me thinking I had encountered some sort of weird extra big pivot!

I presume you're not in the UK and don't want to buy from Cousins?

I am in the uk, but as far as I can tell they don’t sell the part anymore. There are other pallet forks listed as part 710 but as far as I can tell there are lots of 710’s but I don’t really know!

Is this not the correct one?

Yes that's the correct one.

I have installed the new pallet fork and I think we are in luck! Just need to wait and see how it’s running after 24hrs. 
thank you all 

So far so good
