It depends on the exact movement and jewel in that. If such a size is available to buy. Not impossible, but likely a small percentage of types overall. Most of the time it's more economical to buy a replacement plate or bridge from ebay; the tooling needed to replace jewels is expensive and probably rarely used, unless you are running a dedicated watch repair business. -
Yes every single watch in the universe can be repaired. But he was asking a question about getting a parts movement. So now you get the task of showing him how to repair the watch without getting a parts movement I'm sure it shouldn't be a problem at all for someone of your skill set

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.
