Does anyone know where I might look for a complete pallet fork assembly for this very old 8-ligne Gruen wristwatch? One fork horn is broken on this one. It is a high-grade movement in an 18K case and I would like to restore it, if possible. Thanks

Jerry,

Have you tried dashto.com? Will a lower grade watch have the same pallet assembly? I usually end up watching eBay for a parts movements. Sometimes you got to buy 4 or 5 movements to get the one you want.

Unfortunately, this one seems to be so old (ca.1915?) that I cannot even find a model number for it. Dashto does not appear to have anything like it.

Charlie Cleves is well versed in Gruens. He is great to deal with and considered an expert. You might try his work number at his store. He may have it or know where to get it. Here is his info:
