Ok, several things more. There is no difference between cap stone and end stone. They are two names for one thing. The thing is the stone with no hole, with one flat polished side. You for sure must remove the jewel settings from the cock. Otherwise no way to check what is needed to check. You don't need micrometer. Probably newer will need one. At this point, You need to check if the pivot can get in the pivot hole of the hole jewel in a manner that the pivot top is at least 0.15 mm above the upper surface of the stone. No matter if it is the old staff or the new one. -

We know AI doesn't understand anything but we don't know if or when it will do. 3 months, 3 years, 30 years, 300 years or never? -
COBOL as well, know a couple of folks who work 4-6 months of the year and earn 6 figures working with it. Tom

There is a certain irony in the fact that knowledge of Fortran is still in use in some niche areas (mainly banking and finance) to this day. Maybe I'll ask Chatgpt to write me some Fortran 77 code, just for fun. Speaking of AI and time (wasting), you might find this interesting. https://hackaday.com/2025/02/06/a-great-use-for-ai-wasting-scammers-time/

That's an interesting question and one I haven't thought much about. Googling "Maurice Lacroix ML115" I get this page: https://calibercorner.com/maurice-lacroix-caliber-ml115/ This page says: "Grade: Special (Elaborated)" Unfortunately, I don't know the grade of the ETA 2824-2 movements I've serviced. As far as I can remember, they were all from rather inexpensive watches. Not "top of the line". I guess the memories of other ETA calibres I've worked on (1080, 2472, 2763, 2772, 2804-2, 2836-2, and 2892) lurk in the back of my mind when comparing, so it may not be completely fair. Nevertheless, overall, the Sellita left me with an excellent impression, but I don't know if Maurice Lacroix has made any other changes to it than decorating the rotor. Finding detailed information isn't easy. As @tomh207 said: "More secretive than Swiss banks". I couldn't agree more. In my opinion, it should rather be the rule than the exception. As you point out, there are probably some disadvantages, but in my view, there are definitely more advantages than disadvantages.
