The broken spring can probably be replaced by bending a new one to shape from some springy steel. It’s likely a Longines movement, I’ve described in another comment how to find out which one. You will want an image of what the keyless works looked like before you took them apart, because that is like a unique ‘fingerprint’ for the movement.
Just in case you didn’t know this, with a lot of pocket watches, the movement comes out of the case and the stem remains in the case tube, but pocket with watches like this one, you must remove the stem before you try to remove the movement from the case or you will snap the stem. I’m not saying that you snapped the stem, but given where the stem snapped, this is probably how that happened.
@@watchwhisper It is not uncommon to receive a watch like this with the stem already snapped due to someone else’s attempt to remove the movement from the case before removing the stem. I thought that you most likely weren’t the person who broke it, but still worth explaining how and why it probably happened. This is a really beautiful watch, with high grade finishing. I look forward to seeing it running well again when you’re done with fixing and servicing it. You’ll learn about sourcing parts like stems, identifying movements and I can’t remember if you’ve done a watch with this style of balance jewels yet, so cleaning and oiling them might be another new step for you. Don’t hesitate to ask if you need some help along the way.
