Reply To: Jewel dimensions…

Nickle is harder than brass, I cant see why they would have used wiped in jewels, if they are just nickle plated it shouldn’t be a problem. The only thing I can suggest is to find an old movement with wiped in jewels that look untouched, get the jewel out and put it back in. You will know then that any issues are down to technique as opposed to any other issues.
