Thanks for the recommendation!!
The next time I'll have to work on the odometer, I'll replace those.

So now my watch is finally keeping the right time!!!
I had most of the connections re-soldered together with lubing both the gears and adjusting mechanism seems to have helped...

Very happy and thanks for all your help!
