I have noticed that I get sort of motion sick whilst woking with my magnifiers. I have one of those that are attached to eyeglasses and have two seperate magnifiers. I need to buy a proper bench and obtain some proper loops. Any advise would be welcome....I'm off to get some tums.

You can get clip-on watchmakers eyeglasses and I would suggest using Horotec or Bergeon brand. For close inspection I use an x10 double lens made by A&F for years and just purchased another because my original got broken - couldn't do without it.

If you buy the eyeglass you can get retaining head bands for them to make them easier to use or if you wear spectacles.

If you don't where spectacles then I would recommend you practice using the eyeglass directly in your eye socket like a monacle.

I am convinced your problem is due to poor quality optics.

      I tend to replace them with friction fitted jewels, unless the client wants to keep the originality of the movement, but then they pay more for that luxury.

      You're right Rich, throwing money at something that is practically worthless. I've had i happen a few times, its  disappointing, but a lesson learned in checking everything out before you put in too much effort. I'm still tempted to look through a load of balances and wheels i have to see whats doable with the genuine staffs, I'm thinking the  wheel that it came with is not genuine, it's had it weight completely hacked down.

      Ok thanks  it was just the brass cover next to the previous 3 keyless parts. Normally i wouldn't have expected that to be used to identify,  but I've searched American,  German and French part catalogs and coming up with nothing for the set lever,set spring and  yoke. I will have another look later today. There is another way but you would have to measure the stem very accurately.

      The diameter of the dial side is 40mm, and the other side 36,5mm. Here is another picture

      The chronometer on the dial might just be a brand name, looking back yes i was mislead by the mention of Remontoir inside the case. Still not sure why it says Ancre Remontoir which translates to anchor winder, i imagine that means lever winder which still suggests to me 2 winding springs. I'm sure i have that same watch with chronometer on the dial ,I've never ventured inside it. My missus looks after 90% of my watches , so i will get hold of that one and have a look inside. Haha no not a remontoire, looks very basic.  Good to see the keyless works, can you measure the plate size to cut down on the search for them. Can you lay out that brass bridge cover as well please next to the other 3 pieces.
