I’ve spent the last two days trying to put back the train of wheels without success. I’m a rookie but I managed to do this the first time around (but had to disassemble the watch again because of another issue) and now I cannot get the train to work. The train bridge easily falls into the screw holes and the arbour of the 2nd wheel. But the rest of the wheels remain loose  - their arbours don’t quite reach the jewels. Then at times I manage to get all the wheels engaged except for the third one. So I’m wondering if I broke off the third wheel’s arbour at some point? Does the wheel look right or should it have a bit of an arbour producing out of the top of the pinion? I don’t have pictures and it’s an obscure movement - an Ebel cal. 59 from the 1960s. My questions are:

1. Does the wheel look off? 
2. How can I source a replacement? There are no tech sheets I could find or parts sheets for this watch. 
 

Thanks so much!

It does look like the pivot is broken.

Is this the third wheel you refer too above?

Edit

Had a quick look and parts are very limited for the Ebel 59 but Emmy does show these
alternatives for the Third Wheel although sometimes they can be questionable.

I found this on Cousins under the Felsa 4035 which is compatible with the Favre Leuba 501

I have placed an order for the Favre Leuba caliber shared by AndyGSi. Fingers crossed for fit. Will report back as soon as I can. Thanks so much!
