This must be an oddball then. I had a really bad rustic movement, that belong to a customer, but I snapped the staff

I'm probably blind, and imagined I saw a "C". I'm at my duty station and won't be able to check for sure until I get home

As long as this stupid thumb does not respond, then I will always have issues staffing. I found one for 19.00 on the swamp, and I hope its running. The seller did not know, and judging on the condition in the photo, I'd say there is a good chance that its running....I hope

I may have a 406; certainly a 405 and almost all parts will interchange between the two (escape wheel and associated jewels don't). What are you up to?
Basically I got so focused on the rusted stem and clutch assembly, that I did what to most is a cardinal sin! I forgot to remove the balance assembly...........completely, but I got that stem out and removed all the rust. Still, I snapped the staff, and then got sick about it! I haven't busted a stem in a very, very long time. (at least one that I will admit to) Lol!!!!

Well...............the movement was not only a bust, but missing hairspring as well. Gotta keep looking.

Howdy Cary,
Yep, I still need a 406, and actually both if possible. I have the one I broke for a customer, and one I want to restore. Drop me line.
Kind Regards,
Tomas
