Decided to give the case and bracelet a good cleaning and my first shot at polishing/brushing. Went with the Cape Cod polishing cloth and gray scotch brite method. Before First; Then After; Then comparing to some original links from when the watch was new to now. -

It's either bent or hung up on something or both. The hexane won't hurt it, and hanging from a balance tack indefinitely won't hurt it. If the spring is glued to the stud there's a chance that the glue was softened and the outer coil stuck to the stud. Haven't seen that happen, but I suppose it could. Don't know if hexane affects the glue used either. -
Hello all. some help required here from the community please. I serviced this movement, which was running reasonably well, but the balance spring which was running healthily before I started, after cleaning in hexane for 30 secs, is all bunched up at the stud. I did store the balalance on a tack thereafter for a day. could the spring be strained under gravity? I demagnetised of course, and the balance is squeaky clean. some help would be much appreciated. Thanks, Tony G -
