A Charles John Cope maritime chronometer

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

I know someone who can fix it, and I am interested. But I can't see the pictures.

Greetings,

I took a look at the source code for the image links that he posted and found that he'd just given bad links. Here are the photos:

Hi for all,

I am sorry by photos, I changed the host and some address was lost.

I changed my email and I am trying to modify it in IHC185 but is not possible, I think that I need to send a email to administrator to change it.

By now my email is paulo@tempusvivendi.com.

Regards,

Paulo
