I have a broken jewel in a 2824-2 ETA. a screw got loose in the movement and busted a jewel. I took it out, but it was demolished. I need to know if anyone knows the measurements for the jewel? I also do not have a hole measure. What do I do? It is the fourth wheel!

Also the top escape wheel jewel was out of whack so I straightened it, but I think I would feel better if I just replaced it.

Does anyone know if and where I can find the sizes of these jewels? I think it is such a common movement that they would just have the sizes listed somewhere.

I think it is the fourth wheel? Out of the four jewels on the drive train plate, it is in the middle.

Wouldn't it be easier to find a new or better train wheel bridge.

I tried that with jborel, cas-ker and cousins, but they didn't have one. I didn't try ofrie because I figured the same. I haven't tried the bay yet. I guess I'll try that!

No problem, if you find anything else you need when you get into it just let me know, are all the wheels spinning true and have you double checked for scored pivots on the train wheels, especially the wheels with cracked jewels?

Thanks for the reminder! I was going to when I pulled the jewel out originally but forgot! I will keep in touch!

How are you getting on with this watch, was everything you needed on that movement I sent you, I made sure the hairspring was flat and centred before it left, hope it was still OK by the time it reached you!

      Parts sourcing for FHF 180 movement

      All watches are repairable a few oven duff tools knowledge skills. But I was just agreeing that it be easier to get a movement.

      About repair watch's jewel.

      By jhoho202 · Posted

      First of all, thank you for the pdf file of the book on how to replace a gem. So, if there is a problem with the ruby in the movement, should I buy a new or used movement and replace it? When I watch videos on YouTube of people fixing used watches, I feel like there should be a way to buy a gem. Is there no way to buy it?

      I suppose @donutdan is not forced to earn his living by repairing watches.  I suppose he does it as a hobby and wants to gain experience, to get better in watchmaking and time is not the issue. Then @donutdan should rather try to repair the damage instead of swap parts from a maybe intact other movement. Swapping parts is not watchmaking. And often swapped parts are not the expected solution of all problems. All mentioned damages are repairable. Frank

      Yeah I figured that one out when I googled and realized that my spindle is actually from Horia. It's smooth with no screwable cap.

      I am puzzled by something a snipped out something from your image and what exactly disassemble tell us? my confusion is the symbol for FHF looks like image I have below year symbol as a star and righted this instant are not finding what that means? I suppose we could use the fingerprint system to verify it really is what it claimed to be. Size itself is really interesting there's almost no watches in that particular size. Then were missing details in the photograph above like diameter of movements to verify it really is the size and are missing the setting components.   went to the bestfit book looking at the symbols didn't see it. Look at the link below I did find it back to the bestfit book and yes it really is there https://reference.grail-watch.com/documents/history-of-ebauches-sa/ then bestfit book says lists the size as 10 1/2. one of the problems with vintage watches is finding parts yes a donor watch would be good.
