Build moving along nicely. Page 3 of the service manual complete and almost there with page 4.

Escape wheel/bridge and balance to go and I’ll have a working basic watch ready to test on the timegrapher!

But I need to post a LTB - anyone have an idea of the going rate for a blank escape wheel bridge? Part 861 1004?

One on eBay for over $600 caught me off guard!

Full part number you need is 72208601004 for the pink version. Note that it is an 860 part, so don't limit your search to 861 parts. It's the same bridge on the 960, 861, 865, 866, 910, 911, 920, and 930 so if you find a cheap donor movement or partial for any of those, the bridge will work.

If you really want a blank one with no serial number, you will likely have to pay up whatever the resellers are asking.

Ah yes, I’d forgotten about that. Good advice. I’ll widen my search! Thanks Al
