    Hello! What is the role of this piece? If I don't have it anymore, what can happen?
    It is about the circled piece.

    Movement will rattle around in the case.

    What the hell is that thing anyway? A quartz movement in drag?

    Does the rotor charge a capacitor?

    I have a watch that no longer has that circled thing. Can something damage the mechanism? It is a quartz.

    Well, I've never had your problem. I think that a loose movement can't be a good thing. Why don't you get a mod to move this thread to the watchmaking forum and one of those guys may be able to tell you how to order a replacement. Or start a new thread there.

    Here's the link
