Not entirely sure how to check if the guard pin is too long or short since it is very difficult to see inside the small enclosed area. The pallet fork horn and guard pin seem to be ok and straight in both vertical and horizontal planes. Need to clean pallet fork again to remove excess lube. There doesn't appear to be much endshake in the pallet fork. The pallets appear to have enough drop on either side. Brand new balance staff so pivots look fine. The impulse jewel height goes almost up to the safety roller table so I think it is high enough. The bottom of the balance looks ok, with the impulse jewel solidly in place with clean edges. The rest of the wheel train seem to have reasonable endshake except the center wheel which has no endshake. There is a fair amount of endshake so I would like to tighten the balance up a bit. The balance spring is sitting flat and doesn't appear to be catching on anything. The balance complete looks fine and does not appear to be rubbing against anything. (The picture was taken when I found the old pivot wedged in the oil well). The obvious problem I knew beforehand is that the lower balance jewel has a chip in it and needs to be replaced. The top set of jewels look ok, with the end cap not showing any pitting. I went back and reviewed the watch further. Timing is erratic, increasing and decreasing and sloppy beat. Went to adjust timing next day and it is all over the place, runs in pendant up/down/left/right but totally stops when it is dial up (not very convenient for the owner). I cleaned, reassembled and lubricated the watch and it ran fine sitting on my bench overnight. Things I have repaired on this watch so far include: Broken Setting Lever spring (and the broken piece was wedged in the wheel train), worn mainspring, broken balance staff, bent balance spring, loose balance spring collet, trued the balance wheel using calipers, balance wheel out of poise (needed to add a timing screw). Movement: FHF (FONT) 120, 17 Jewel Fontainemelon SA. plate size: 6.75 x 8 ligne, Rate: 18,000 bph The watch is a Charles Aernie manual wind ladies watch. Your advice would be very much appreciated. But I am pondering what my next move should be.
