Nice restoration, I think the loose piece in the movement was the third case retainer but where was the screw for that, alsi notice no dial spring, is this normal ?
The metal piece is a mystery of this movement. I also thought it was the third case retainer but I couldn't find the screw. I set the original tension ring to keep holding the dial and movement in the finishing assembling. I put a generic crystal with a tension ring at first, but it didn't fit well and the movement was wobbling in the case.
I needed to find the right angle to join by rotating the crown and finding a light "click" feel. If the angle is correct, you won't need so much power to join them.
Hi there, I just hope that you will read my comment 1 year later. But right now I am trying to restore my old Omgea which also holds a caliber 601. I just need to change the mainspring, but I do not know the measurements or the strength of it, so I you could help me out with those I would really appreciate it.
I usually buy a mainspring replacement from Cousins UK because it is easy to search for an appropriate one. www.cousinsuk.com/sku/details/mainsprings-by-list-watch-pocket/gr25351
Nice work. Classic looking watch. I just got a de ville and will use this as reference. Thanks!

Watch with interrest for a solution. Thank you
How do you get the male and female stem to join together?
