Hi everyone,
Hope that someone can help me identify this "c" clip. I found it when removing the Hamilton 974 parts from the cleaning solution but I cannot figure out where it goes. I'm relatively sure it came from this movement but I sure didn't see it when I took the movement apart. Is there a parts diagram of some type that shows where this goes? The picture shows the winding mechanism next to the mystery "C" clip and next to my Starrett rule for reference. Any help would be appreciated.

Possibly a click spring?????

Hi David,

Your mystery part looks like a hand crafted washer, possibly put in place on the clutch assembly to compensate for a weak click spring. That's my best guess as the part is not an original component of the watch.

William and Kevin,
Thanks for the responses. I'm new to hobby and not really familiar with all of the components. I'll just put the movement back together without it and see how it works.
Thanks,
David
