Replacing a balance staff in a Hamilton 10 size movement. These are easy, the staff is friction fit and the hub is blue to tell that you don't need to use a lathe.

Thank you for showing! Knowing how delicate these balances are I always find it fascinating how someone can seemingly effortless go ahead and manipulate them... I donβt feel clumsy in any way but Iβd likely crush the whole thing in a second. I might as well need a good pair of glasses
It's pretty straight forward with a set of good tools, and....so far I don't need magnification for this kind of work.
