Sounds like you have sorted it, hopefully a shorter correct screw fitted all will be good, I ~have encountered similar whereas a too long screw had been fitted by someone else, in my case the screw was touching the main spring barrel, causing the power reserve too bind up.

This movement  have been worked on by a lot of of different people. Parts have been lost or broken in the process.

Thats the problem when working on an old movement, so many others cause even more problems, usually as a result of lack of experience/knowledge.

nice project and perserverance....at least you have it running so you beat the guys who worked on it earlier...

Excellent Rogart! Keep up the good work. If you need any spare parts, hopefully I can help. Congratulations on getting it running.

Hey @rogart63,

I am posting here on your question about the dial because I couldn't insert photos using the messenger system.

 

Here are pictures of the dial spacer for the Omega 1020 family of calibres

As you can seem, it goes directly on the dial and sits between the movement and creates a small space between the dial and the calendar mechanism. If you don't have this in place, then that is the reason the movement stops working when the dial is on.
