NIce! Unfortunately, I may have a movement or two for which a cannon pinion simply does not exist. I figure it's a challenge- put the movements on the shelf, work on other watches for a while, but also learn how to fabricate parts, and once I'm good enough at it, revisit the watch. The worst possible result is failure, and that doesn't bug me much. 🙂 -

It comes with a motor, but I want to replace it for  one that has a speed controller. -

Hello everyone my name is Tom and I and I am new to the forum and new to the hobby. I have always had an interest in mechanical watches and finally decided to pursue it. I’m going thru online trading and have purchased the basic tools to set up a work area. I’m really looking forward to learning and thank you in advance for all of your knowledge!
