I stumbled upon a really nice technical guide that actually shows the order that parts are reinstalled into the movement. As a new comer to this hobby, this is a huge benefit to have. See the PDF for the ETA movement below for what I mean and look on pp's 6 & 7 in the box where it says "Assembling ...." Better Version_Hamilton 742_Dads_ORCO_Watch_936_ETA 963.111, 963.121.pdf Now, with this Seiko technical guide, I don't see anything labeled as such. Is there a way to read the drawing that will tell me the same thing? Is it just follow the circled numbers? I see in the legend on p 2 it says something like that, but just wanted to be certain.

I think it would be incredibly cool to lathe your own parts. Unfortunately, I have yet to see one that is inexpensive.

Hi Richard No problem , I think as far as lacquer is concerned best get the ones recommended like Horolacq (cousins). and yes you will need to peg the holes to remove any build up. -

Getting there, please don't feel obliged to reply to all my posts. I'm just excited doing my first clock. Which varnish do I use and do I have to clean the pivot holes afterwards ? Oops forgot photos. -

Hi Richard It will remove paints, varnish Lacquers from many surfaces, I have used it on steel, wood and brass with no problems but you mut clean it all off thoroughly. I use warm soapy water then dry well to remove all moisture once done clean the clock in the normal way.
