Reply To: easy way to reassemble full plate pocket watche

[Bob Tascione]

Hi Showaddywaddy,
Yes there is a quick trick that will make assembly of a full plate Much easier. Assemble the movement upside down. That is, with balance cock down towards bench top, place all gears, pallet lever etc. into position, place other plate in position and then begin aligning arbor pivots into their corresponding holes while working plate down onto the piller shoulders.
Good luck and enjoy!
Bob
