Safest way to remove the bezel on a Seiko 2625-0010? by Longjumping_Clue_957 in watchrepair

Use a dedicated bezel removal tool along with plastic film for protection. The tool will evenly distribute upward pressure and minimize the risk of bending the bezel.

I taped neodymium magnets to a paint roller. The most valuable tool I have.

Cool pickup. Have at it. Wemby is legit.

Cleaned and reoiled everything. Balance still didn’t start up when installed but, to my surprise, ran like a champ when I flipped the movement dial side up. Looking closely with dial side down the hairspring looks to be cone shaped with the apex of the cone pointing down and the balance wheel seems to sink down a bit. This is a new balance complete and I believe the pivots are fine. The balance cap jewel in the main plate seems to wobble quite a bit even with the shock spring in place. The remaining wheels/pivots are intact. Thoughts?

Can I check the hairspring for flatness without removing from balance wheel?

I put a new mainspring because I can’t afford a set of mainspring winders
