·Thanks. I am new in this forum joining yesterday. I am not a dealer. I have with me a 30T2SCRg Ref 2410-1 serial 10190362 which belonged to my grandfather who had picked it up in the immediate post war 40s
It originally had a slate grey dial and compensation balance and Breguet hairspring. When it came into my hands the original balance and hairspring were irrecoverably damaged, set lever spring broken, and dial badly repainted white. I had serviced it myself and put in a plain balance and flat hairspring. I runs gaining about 4 minutes a day
For sentimental reasons, I am interested in restoring it to as near a original shape as is possible spending not more than say $250
I will sincerely appreciate any advice and assistance I can get in this venture

A correct balance (if you can even find one) and service to install it will likely be more than $250.

·Thank you gatorcpa
I know :-(. Looks like I will have pick up something - compatible movement or running watch from eBay or something like that - and do the swapping / restoration myself. That's why I asked in this forum for help / advice
I'll post some pictures later in the day as I am tied up with other things now

To my eyes it looks as if the hairspring is terribly bent in the area of the end curve...

·Thank you mac_omega. Yes it is ! But I feel it is correctable, working very very slowly and carefully. About 7 bends need to be corrected
Would you be able suggest what I should do with the dial ? It has already been repainted and badly
