While putting back this little guy he decided to come apart. I'm not exactly sure how the watch was running up until now, because when I put the arbor/staff over the hole it just slides right through. Being the newbie that I am, I would have no idea how to put back a new arbor without breaking it (balance staff replacement is my 2021 goal). Being the millennial that I am, I searched the internet for a new complete pallet but was unsuccessful. Does anyone know if there is a pallet of a different caliber that would fit this one? Hopeful! P.S. If anyone has any suggestions on how to secure these two together I'd be open to hearing.

Might be worth contacting Rich Askham, I can recommend his work, having had several watches serviced by him😎... The first being this one about 5 years ago...

Question
Bill3 6
I would be most grateful for some help with a watch that I have been working on. The watch is an Elgin wrist watch, serial number C453730, that I bought in a not running condition. It has 17 jewels and all the original parts are there. I cleaned and lubed the watch and when reassembled, IT RAN! My success was short lived, however, because it gained about three hours per day. I moved the adjustment lever located over the hairspring, all the way toward the "S" but that made no difference whatever. One positive aspect is that the watch is consistent in it's time gain, always three hours a day. I have included a picture. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
