Arbor

[RichardHarris123]

Hello all 

I've disassemble this beautiful movement and found the problem.  The pin? (Please correct my terminology)That fits into the top plate has snapped.  It is stuck in the top plate.  What are my options?  Can I buy an new one or drill out both the arbor and top plate and add a new pin?

Well, first things first: in order to answer any of those questions, we will need to know more.  May we please have pictures of the movement - back side and dial side - in the highest resolution you can offer?  And can you tell us anything you already know about it, such as maker, year, etc.?  Many of us have sources for certain makes and certain years, and some have used our lathes and tools to fabricate the parts we cannot get.  But we need more data first.  Then we will see what we can do.

That, and we like to ogle at watch movements.

If my eye sight is good it looks like  a Buser 95 the pivture when blown up is fuzzy     Technical info is a bit short on this watch.   think we are looking at removing the broken pivot from the plate and making a new onr for the arbour. the only other alternative is to find a donor watch on Ebay

If it is a Buser 95, then Dave's has a donor.  Only $12 U.S.  Act quick though.

023.1098 $ 12.00Buser 95 partial movement, pw, 17j, approx 85%, m/hairspring.

Missing the hairspring, but should have everything else.  It'll be in the columns on the far right of the main page, under "partial movements".  But what I listed above is all you would see.  And the 023.1098 is the part number you would use to order from him.  Always email him first to confirm availability and get a price with shipping.  Then use his quote to order.  He's good.  I've used him a few times.  Surf the site, he has vintage tools too.
