·I've heard people mention, regarding the cal 321, "brake levers." Is this a legitimate part(s), or does it go by a different name?

No such part called "brake lever" so it may go by a different name...difficult to say unless it's clear what part is being referred to...
There are 11 parts with the word "lever" in their name...none with brake...
My best guess is you are referring to the hour recorder stop lever maybe? 321-1780...
Or maybe the blocking lever, 320-1726...

Yes, this is the correct name for this lever as it is the one which regularly breaks... 😜
or better said: which is often broken when you find a watch with cal. 321

My watchguy his nephew works at a dental lab and he was asked if he could recreate/repair my broken spring.
Well; as we speak I just got my Speedy back home and he fixed it! De reset function works again. The guy took the broken hammer spring and laser welded a spring onto the broken part. Initially the hammer spring was soldered earlier but at the first test it brike down immediately. The laser welded part works....so far. We have to wait and see what the future brings
I show you some pictures so you can see the hammer spring as it looks now.
Let's say my beloved EW '63 had quite some surgery and is very happy with this "bypass" or "drain".

·Creative, and resourceful, but I would enjoy hearing what our resident watchmakers have to say about it.

Not pretty would be an understatement, but if it works and you can't find an original, I guess "it is what it is" as the saying goes...
I don't own the watch, but if I did this would be a temporary fix until I found the correct part.
Cheers, Al

·That's what is Archer. Hopefully it holds until I find a spare hammer spring.
Btw; does anyone have a spare 105.003 minute hand? Mine is loose on the minute pipe and when I shake it tends to go back and fourth in 3 min steps....bummer.

·The hole of the hand can be closed with an appropriated punch. A new one is not needed in every case, ask your watchmaker.

The old lady has returned today and working well. And yes; the "ugly" solution works fine. That beeing said....I absolutely feel no difference with an original hammer spring as I push the reset pusher. And in the meantime I will continue the search for the original part of course 😀
