Hey guys I wanted to take apart my 21J movement for some knowledge and forgot to release the tension. And so when I removed the bridge it exploded. Now the second hand will not tick. Any thoughts? Are there any 21J build schematics? Thanks in advance.

I actually dont know of any 21J build schematics.. they all seem to be built differently depending on the maker of that particular movement. eg. HZ has different design than DG, and etc.

A 21j can be had for 20$. It might be worth exchanging the whole movement and keep experimenting with the exploded one.

Gotta watch out for those exploding movements haha.. my thoughts are throw it away and get a new movement.
