Note: above where diagram reads "cock", there is another
piece that is not in the picture. It looks like a
snake whose tail begins at the bottom left of the
pivot of the metronome hand (whose tip is directly
above the screw next to the "cock" label) and then
comes down and around the tip of said metronome
hand and back up to the right "kissing" the bottom
right of the pivot. There is also an "S" and an
"F" on the underlying plate as well. A second note
is that in the picture, The cock and the metronome
above it seem to be on two different plates,
whereas on my watch, they are all on one. If you
need a picture, I can send you one. My email is
brionburket *****@gmail.com. Thanks!
