These are $20 on ebay.

Yeah... but they are worth about $3 :( I bought his exact one, everything inside is junk, soft metal tools that bend or break when used... the only thing worth a darn are the tweezers. I've been slowly upgrading to Bergeon

Agree with you @WatchestoPlay - buy the good stuff if you are going to be more involved in the hobby....but some equipment can be pretty expensive and it adds up quite quickly! :)

Hope you get it fixed. I got a 3777 in the mail last week that was dead on arrival.

Funny, I have a IWC here with exactly the same problem

It’s the start lever for the Chrono and it’s a easy fix.

The screw from the lever comes loose and the lever fell off.
The problem is the screw is floating now somewhere inside the movement and you have to find it.

Just get a good space to work in with a flat surface so you can find the little screws that are going to spring out of your tweezers!!!

Thanks Chris, great photos, glad I'm not alone and it's very positive that you fixed it.

If I find the screw does the piece fit back in quite easily (has all fingers crossed) or is it pretty complicated.

I have zero experience, what are my chances?!

Ok... looks fairly complex! Thanks for those images they are definitely helpful. Is there a website with them and more on?
