Restoration Of 1880s Elgin Watch Restaff The Balance And Assembly I was misunderstanding how the jewels on my watch are put together vs. in the videos i was watching. i thought that on this watch for the train of wheels, there was the cap jewel held in with screws and then a hole jewel. however, i just took one of the 'cap jewels' off and the entire setting came out with the jewel. So, a watch that runs for a few seconds might still be in need of major repairs. otoh, i've received watches that were wound up tight, and would not run, but which only needed a simple service to get them running well. you just can't tell from "runs a few seconds". don't take life so serious, son. it ain't nohow permanent pogo.

Not only will this tool give you information about the parts contained inside your elgin watch, but it can also cross reference part numbers with other grades. this can make the process of finding a replacement part incredibly simple. we hope this new addition will be welcomed by both newcomers and veterans of the horology hobby.
