Reply To: Replacement Balance jewel hole for pocket watch.

Hi Jim,

Yes it is possible. The 861 staff was produced and made available in three different pivot sizes 11, 12 and 13 and also old and new style. Jewel hole gauges are very handy and helpful when ordering a staff but if the broken staff has a good pivot on one side then measuring and giving that pivot size when ordering will “usually” insure receiving the correct staff.

Hope this helps Jim,
Bob
