Hi given we assume you have no access to a laser welder, silver solder is the next best option but failing that the method as described by old hippy is the more common method. But clean up and tin both joints before soldering together. -
A fresh breakage I would quickly silver solder or have it laser welded. Both no more possible with soft solder on the parts.

My guess, a depthing tool. Insert whatever into the end, adjust and lock off. Check the depth of the other piece against it. Length, not depth comparison tool. -

Happy Sunday people. This one has me stumped. The threaded piece has a dimple in the end. -
I did the math meanwhile: @Jon, I have to apologize for my harsh response! Yes, your math does not correctly convert time to angle of a part of a swing. But funny enough neglected facts compensate each other here and the result is in the ballpark, sufficient precise to work with (in this limited range around middle position). @Zendoc I have no reliable and easy method in which direction to turn the collet. If a coarse error, I observe the impulse jewel as described and turn the collet the same direction the jewel is off the center. With small errors I am wrong every 2nd case ☹️. The dot on the balance rim is reliable only with untouched units, but who knows? Changed staff or removed/mounted roller makes this dot worthless. Frank
