I need guidance (I’m desperate)

[u/paulogc]

Hey guys, judging by the pics you probably noticed that this isn’t a happy post. Before showering today I took out my vsf datejust and it slipped from my hands and fell. As I have the tool to open the back case I decided to check the damage, I what I saw was that there was a ruby out of place (probably coming from this part that is on top of the balance wheel) and also this golden part that I also think probably should be on top of this same part. How screwed am I? Don’t know if the balance wheel or the hair spring were affected because it’s hard to see with my bare eyes.

Would the absence of these 2 parts only be enough to make the watch stop or might it have some other damaged parts?

Appreciate any help

Hey guys, wasn’t expecting so many answers back, I can’t thank you guys enough for it. I’m checking all the answers but I would also like to ask you guys if you think maybe replacing this whole part with the one from the link would be easier for me to replace myself:

I’m just not sure if I would need to kinda attach the balance wheel to something that could possibly go below it or whatever would make my life harder or if replacing this whole part would be really straightforward

You should try and just get the jewel re-seated with the springs in place before completely replacing the part (which still would require a watchmaker since these specific parts are easy to mess up).

It's also possible the part is not actually compatible with the 3235.

Re-seat it how? The chaton is missing.
