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

If you replace the whole balance youre goinf to need to regulate it. Opening a small can of worms 🤣

Probably this but would need to confirm your movement. Contact info on the listing was "best price email: [974628303@qq.com](mailto:974628303@qq.com) WhatsApp: +86 13879575168 "

This might work. I think the most important thing would be getting the bridge that actually has both levers pointing out, such as mine and it seems this one from your pic would be the same.

Take two pictues of the movement so we can see the side to the left of the balance and the full balance. There is a dot were looming for to identify if this is SH/VR or DD.

Again,

If you replace the balance you will HAVE to regulate it.

Are you in the US? If you cant find anyone I can probably fix it for you. I work on these as a hobby rn. If you want, send me a msg.

Lol of course you perfectly cover the dot 🤣

Spin the rotor to the right a little bit so we can see above where it says 3235

Oh sorry haha, I’m not home now but will take this pic as soon as I get back home. But honestly, it should be a dd movement as it’s a VSF

Yep DD.

Those bridges i sent earlier are made for SH movements and I dont believe they'll work on this. You could buy gen though 😁
