·Thanks, I see, so the brass wheel in my pictures can be unscrewed from the axle of that part in your picture that contains the mainspring.
I'll take it to my guy and see what he thinks, likely more trouble than it's worth so might just keep it for decoration and parts in case something goes wrong on my Omega. At least this gave me the opportunity to fire it up after 10+ years and was happy to see it's well and ticking ;-)

·I'm about 90% sure these are the mainsprings that I got: https://www.ebay.com/itm/315285366953?var=613999521262
1.15 x 0.06 x 225mm is within a small bit of length, and the right height as far as I know? But I didnt end up using it.

·I figured I'd update on this one! Its been running non-stop since July, and just yesterday i corrected the time, it was fast about 10 minutes over ~3 months. So about 6 sec/day or so, which I'm not concerned about 😀 I could regulate it better, but I'm happy as-is 😀

·From today's window shopping at (Brisbane) Vintage Watch Co.
And I didn't leave a forehead print for Ronny today!
Looks like a linen dial* and textured rocket body. *Honest. You wouldn't know from my pic though.
Running too.

Avoids a bit of #3 but makes #1 inevitable 🙃
