Hi guys,

I bought this Series nine because it is in a near perfect Factory Coin Edged case... It has a great dial and super clean movement. Runs two minutes slow per day because it is free sprung with no regulator pins.

Can I drift these broken bits out and replace the pins with some brass pins I trim down on my lathe?

The regulator whip and bow are in great corrosion free condition... It would be a simple matter to swap the regulator whip with a spare if I had one. But since it is in such nice corrosion free condition I thought it might be nice if it is feasible to press in new pins.

Thoughts or opinions?

Thanks a mil, Paul'T

Paul, You should be able to press out the pins (from the "bottom" side) and replace them with some new pins.
