Hello!

i have just embarked on a journey to restore a 321 movement and while looking into the peripherals, some questions have popped up.

Can i use a 861 movement holder with jewel support pins on a 321? (are the subdial jewels in the same location on 321 vs 861)

Could anyone help out with a part number for the Case clamp screws? Failing to find the number on any of the PDFs on Cousins.

thank you very much and excited to be apart of this community!

Continuing my journey on the 145.012-67SP and I'm a bit confused and hopefully someone can chime in and help out

My example did not come with either of the pusher stems. I looked up the manual and found both the 1757a and 1758a parts and ordered them.

The ones I purchased appear to be "new" styles but do not engage the pusher screws or are even able to be installed. (The Reset Zero pusher fits but is too short and does not engage the Pusher pin/screw and the Start/Stop pusher stem is too tight of a fit to slip over the operating lever post as well as too short)
In another thread there was discussion around 086ST0059 vs 086ST0007, and the 0007 looks like it had a longer pusher screw. Curious if these are related to the gap but photographically my pusher screws does appear to look correct and match other 145.012 examples I see around the net.

I'm trying to make sense of when/where are these parts used as they are marked as 321. It also seems that a specific 1720 Operating Lever would be paired with this 1757a pusher stem (as it the hole diameter was too small for mine) and would also require longer pusher screws to engage.
It seems then the proper pusher stem is a 320 1757a & 1758a (which i have seen in other threads, but assumed (never should do that) that the 321 marked ones would work as well - alas back to ebay and find the correct parts 馃榾

Thanks for any responses and sharing your knowledge!

Hi, I鈥檓 not sure about the answers to your questions, but if you end up needing a used/vintage 321 movement holder or pusher parts, I have some listed in the FS forum!
