Hello!
I received for repair an unsigned pocket watch that someone already tryed to fix and ended messing up with the balance, hairspring and a few things more...
Well, I just discovered that the jewel and cap jewel in the balance bridge were replaced with a single piece red thing - not sure it is a sinthetic jewel or something way cheaper (plastic?) but surely it is low quality. And the hole for the balance pivot is too big. I need to replace this thing with decent jewels.
So I got another balance bridge with a good jewel that is a good size for this replacement... But I simply don't know how to remove it safely! Just one chance to get this done!
Help, please!
