I've joined this back.

As mentioned this is a very low grade mov.t,  it should not be difficult to place it back together.

THANKS JDM.appreciate what you say but i am a beginner and just need help with the two aforementioned items.the rest i can manage! bernie.

sorry jdm,i understand the above but i need to know where the pallet fork and the plastic escape wheel go on the plate.

Escape wheel goes into the the hole allows it to mesh with the next wheel in the train. Pallet fork goes into the one that allows it to interact with the escape wheel.
There shouldn't be other holes except for the balance one, further away and inline with the two above.

I suggest that you watch some of the Mark's videos, or even better become a subscriber of his course to become familiar with taking apart a watch and then putting it back together successfully.

Plastic wheel at 1, but as it has come loose a pivot must be broken!

Pallet fork at 2

Balance at 3

 

 

Thanks Watcher.put it all together then found the pallets pins had snapped off!(clumsy me).however i managed to source another fork and has just arrived today;hence the delay in responding to you.hopefully that should do the trick.

    • 🤔 leaving the EU meant that UK was no longer part of the convention and have already been turned down an independent reapplication. I'm pretty sure courts have to be held in Switzerland in this case. There will be a lot more watches stashed away in draws  tbh, folk wont be able to afford to maintain them. Cheap watches will be bought and top end watches by folk with plenty of cash that can pay for service and repair. The expensive once in a lifetime gifts and everything else inbetween will be at the forgotton when they stop working. I know i was being a numpty, get used to it 😄 Anybody that knows will boycott them, but besides repairers who will know. Nope will never buy one, i made that decision as soon as i learnt about this. 
    • although not in this case.  It was the Lugano Convention and its deficiencies that allowed a Swiss court decision in the first place.  This isnt really a Brexit issue at all.  A decision that affects both the EU and the UK should never have been heard in Switzerland. I bet the authorised service centres in the UK are pretty pleased.  It's a massive shame, though; I believe watch owners should be able to choose to have their watch serviced by whoever they trust.
    • Hi guys I think that old hippy is correct, it opens the gates for china to manufacture aftermarket spare parts. considering that they already do work on behalf of the Swiss I guess this decision gives the a little more legitimacy to tool up and I am sure they will take advantage of the situation either with or without the blessing of the Swiss watch industry  Having read about the protectionist machinations of the Swiss in the history of Europe they were the only ones to get fat at everybody else’s expense. I think the outcome could have been guessed at but ,  fair play to Cousins UK for standing up to them.  Now the question,  will everybody boycott Swiss watches and Swatch, no way they will still fill their coffers.  Me I stick with the Japanese once renowned for cheap shitty watches who came good through industrial effort and don’t for get the Russians that most dismiss as low grade crap. Wouldn’t buy a swatch product ever how about you all.? a
    • Hold the crown when in winding position, move the click away from the crown wheel, and then while holding the crown let it slowly unwind. I recollect that you must remove the automatic device bridge first, but maybe I'm wrong. You can first try without removing the automatic device bridge.
