Excellent. I have not seen that site before. Thank you. -
Ah, I should have mentioned that I think I have a donor pusher currently installed in an old Slava watch. They look to be the same dimensions (at least by externally measuring with calipers/ eyeball). The donor has a swaged end on the pusher rather than a circlip, so it can't be disassembled in the usual way, so I assumed that I would need to push the whole thing out. I guess if I can measure the tube, I can see if there's a generic pusher, either a screw or circlip type,available from Cousin's that would fit when disassembled. I am not Bulgarian unfortunately, nothing as interesting as that. I am an Australian (actually originally British) with a mother who wanted to give me an interesting name. I do have an interest in Soviet watches though.

The small pinion that is on wheel 3 is a normal gear pinion. Did clockmakers mix the two types of pinion in the one movement? -
No real question here, I managed to clean and reinstall this straight. But I just thought I would share this silly design for a balance cap jewel on an old Junghans pocket watch caliber J32. The screw is in the center, the jewel eccentric; the opposite design from every other cap jewel I have ever seen. But it has no steady pins beneath so tightening the screw means the cap jewel wants to rotate away from the hole jewel. Without an automatic oiler, this took about 6 tries to oil and screw down the cap without spinning it away. A tiny bit of Rodico didn't really help. Happily they don't make them like this anymore.
