    Hello, I made a new thread I jumbled the last one up. Whoops! So now I got my pallet fork to jump back and forth on my escape wheel when I wind the watch up, but now I can’t get the balance wheel to engage with the fork. I’ve gotten the balance wheel to rotate a bit but it only shutters for a second or two and then stops. When I take it off it appears that the pallet fork has not budged so something isn’t engaging correctly but I’m not sure what, as far as I know everything else on the watch is functioning properly I have had no issues and this is all I need to finish to hopefully have the watch running. Thanks.

    Here is a photo of the pallet fork, it appears to be moving back and forth but I am a rookie so I am not 100% sure.

    You are setting the balance wheel impulse jewel into the pallet fork?

    Yes, one or the other could be broken though.
