6497 parts compatibility

So... i like to tinker, which usually leads to me breaking things. :wacko:

I took the balance assembly apart and lost the retaining spring for the balance wheel jewel.

My question is; i would like to buy another movement so i can just swap the entire balance bridge assembly. Is the assembly compatible across all manufacturers? It is a 18k bph movement so i assume the donor movement will need to be as well.

Yes, you need the same rate balance. You should be able to swap Asian for Asian.
