Ok so let's see if I can explain this and it make sence. The wheel with the very small teeth goes between the crown wheel and the ratchet wheel where there is a spare jewel hole. The pawl the thing with the two wheel driving prongs on goes in the centre off your bridge underneath it on a little peg with the longer of the two prongs to your left as you lòok at it. It is then placed on your train wheel bridge with the two prongs of the pawl either side of the wheel with very small teeth make sure pivots are aligned and screw down. Screw down rotor and hopefully your autowinding. Hope that made sence.

Looks like a Seiko set up? If you can learn a little how a Seiko 6309 work i think you can put this together also? Check seiko 6306/6309 on youtube?

Hi, just thought there is an excellent video of Marks that will give you an indication of what you are dealing with.

It really is worth watching them all. Good Luck

thanks for your help but although based on the seiko, parts are slightly different and the pawl wont stick to the bridge so is difficult to line bridge up over the pawl.think there could be something missing!

Is there a post for the jewel to sit on on the bridge I can't tell on your photos

submitting photos plus a part i found which might belong to a similar movement and was put into the wrong compartment!

The small part is nothing to do with the rotor mech it looks like a roller table jewel and half a staff. Your last picture is the one i was interested in the pawl jewel fits over that little post now remove the bearing housing 3 screws so you can see the pawl underneath when you've screwed the bridge down after putting the pawl and other wheel in place place the bearing housing back on top rotating it until the post engages with the pawl jewel hole then rotate until the 3 screw holes ate aligned and bobs your uncle.
