A quick question and perhaps some advice from TKNZ?
I have been given several vintage watches. Two of the watches, a Helbros (manual, Lorsa P75 movement) and a Jean-Cardot (manual, unknown suspected USSR movement), are broken. The first has a damaged or broken click spring and the later a broken stem.
Am I right that both those parts (the click spring and stem) are uniquely related to the movement/calibre of the watch? i.e. if I want to source parts for either of those myself, I have to find either a replacement part for the particular movement or a donor movement to source the parts from?
I was thinking about trying the replacements myself, but I suspect sourcing the parts might be just the start of my problems...

Thanks,
Slade.
