Yes, good advice! Or dig through all my threads on the forum to read about misadventures with American pocket watches. You end up needing many additional vintage tools succeed with most old pocket watches. And if you have already worked on the ST36 a few times then you have already built the tweezer skills needed for wristwatch movements. Return to the railroad watches once you are accustomed to hunting for tools and parts. -
As they say, you learn somthing new every day Just before I consine this watch to the bin of regrets 😉 I thought I would share some onominolies I found Although this was a Pin Palet watch it didn't follow the norm (as far as I have seen so far) as can be seen in the picturs below there is no impulse jewl on the balance and the palet almost looks like its upside down, with the horns lower than normal with a small brass wire acting like a single banking pin. Not seen this before, does this style of escapment have a special name. -

I bought an assortment that had more than enough. I think I got them on eBay. Something like this one: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/396314592692 (I'd bought them previously just as something useful to have on hand.)
