cap jewel too large for jewel hole
the hour wheel has been destroyed
the roller has been scratched and deformed
somebody attempted to glue the roller to the balance staff with shellac
the case back already has the life polished out of it. One more time, and there won't be anything left to ever open the case again ...
the dial has been refurbished
the new balance has arrived ...
the balance I ordered is wrong. No Breguet overcoil, smaller than the original, and a round stud...
pressing out the old balance staff in the Platax tool
fitting the new balance staff
pressing on the roller. After I pressed it on and I fit the balance, I notice that the roller still sits too far away from the balance, so I turn off a bit of the generic balance staff
pressing on the hairspring collet
the jewel holes and cap jewels are wrong for the movement
the breguet overcoil hairspring is badly deformed
the pallet fork sits too high and touches the roller. I push both upper and lower jewel down in their setting a bit
the ratchet wheel screw isn't original
one of the date ring spring screws isn't original
watch back together; I ordered a new crystal that I will put on tomorrow
