All the levers have a rough finish which makes me think this watch has had rust damage removed at one point.
The backside of the dial is floating in oil, lucky it has not run out to the face side!
I remove the oil from the dial straight away.
I start taking the setting/winding mechanism apart.
The dial side of the base plate is swimming in oil…
I now start taking apart the chronograph layer.
That spring is not correct!
Chronograph layer almost taken apart.
I’m now down to the base movement.
Just the setting lever screw left.
I have polished the levers and screw heads and here are the parts after cleaning
I see that the balance moves freely.
I fit the winding/setting mechanism.
Here you can see I have fitted the gear train.
Oops! I broke the pallet fork pivot.. I decide to make a new one.
Third time lucky
I press fit the new axel into the pallet fork.
Movement is running!
And preforming:)
I start putting the chronograph back together.
Movement looks much nicer after being cleaned up!
I find and replace the column wheel spring.
Old pushers are in a bit of a state and not matching so I replace them.
Thats a lot better!
Movement goes back into the case looking very nice!
The hands get “new” luminous compound to match the dial.
