I get to clean up the messes made by lots of incompetent people. It's never-ending. But this one really takes the cake. Observe the "side shake" in the barrel arbor.
So I made a bushing. It's not as difficult as you might think.
All in a day's work at the bench. And don't bitch about my bare fingers, it went in the cleaning machine right after the video was made.

Yikes...
I wonder what atrocities you will find in my 2 macgyver hack-job conversions...
I don't think there is anything that bad, but I could be wrong. They definitly haven't been handled with finesse from what I've been able to observe.

Turned on lathe and then fitted or some other technique?

Good job, nicely done! You fitted a bushing?
I wonder how the hell it can be so worn, those bridges are not very old?

Re: The shit that crosses my bench.....
Unfortunately i know this issue very well... This is the work of a Singaporean 'watchmaker' that i had the misfortune of know... It came to me represented as being serviced several times and carefully tested...
Other atrocities he has done include expoying the crown guard to the watch...
