I purchased a maritime chronometer made by Charles John Cope watchmaker that was a pupil of Thomas Earnshaw but unfortunately the box was lost and has a problem in the balance staff, see the photos someone glued up a gear on it. Now I don't know what to do, because I can't find any watchmaker who can fix it and for I send to repair outside of Brazil is very difficult because of high fees. I'm looking for a watchmaker to fix it here in Brazil for about 1 year and I am thinking to sell it, one thing that I don't like to do. Regards,
Paulo
