What’s that pink thing you put between the watch and vibrating device and what does it do?

The pink piece is just a spacer to get the right height.

That machine and the fast movement of the hands unlocks the motor when it gets dirty or just sticky after years of neglecting the watch and failed orings

The height and placement of the movement is vital to get those results you see in the video.

I use that after cleaning and servicing the movement

I plan to get a professional version with a more robust construction that also comes with a tester that lets you know how is the performance of the motor in regards to electric consumption.

Thanks Yoda:) With old mainspring power reserve was only 24h.. With new I accept better results.. But this cortebert have big problem with second pinion which so rust and deformation on dial side.. Tomorrow I try short him and polish, and make straight.. If broken pinion I must find new forth while.. Cheap ebay movement, if 200$ cheap, always have big problem..

There is a simple rule, bend it back where it was in that direction.It will most likely break while trying, so why not cut it to avoid unnecessary trouble.
