      Nic,

      One word of caution about using the truing calipers, they have a learning curve, that is, you have to learn the force that you can apply to return the balance wheel to true, WITHOUT snapping off one of the pivots 😮

      It is very easy to use excessive force, especially with the little wrench which is a force multiplier, so basically you are using force to straighten something that is ten times stronger than the tiny pivot on which it is supported..

        I looked on Uncle Larry’s Watch Shop web site and he has a nice looking set of truing calipers listed for $50.00. It looks like he will be on vacation until sometime in August but yout may want to take a look anyway.
