After what started out as a fairly successful afternoon reinstalling a fusee and chain on my pocket watch, I managed to apply too much pressure when handling the movement and accidentally snapped the bottom pivot on the balance wheel! ?☹️?

I doubt a replacement can be found and if repairable, it is well beyond my capabilities.

Is there anyone on the forum that could assist with repairing or replacing this!??

I saw Mark do it in a video and it was unreal. I have been slowly collecting items to attempt this at some point down the road.

Did just the pivot break off the staff or did part of the staff break off as well? The piece that is sitting on the bench on its own does not look to be parallel as I would expect a pivot to look?
