Melikey 0 Posted June 20, 2012 So... i like to tinker, which usually leads to me breaking things. 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
