  1. I'll have to get a set of winders and see what happens... In the meantime, I cleaned all the jewels with a piece of wood, undid the spring barrel and the main spring, cleaned it all, lubrication, and put it back together. By hand :) My hand was so sore when I was done with the spring, from gripping just with the tip of my fingers... Going super slowly it's doable to put the spring back in a pocket watch. Anything smaller, I wouldn't even try. I guess I got lucky this time. I put it all back together following the video (minus the winding stem part) and voila, I have a ticking watch !!!!! I feel like a proud daddy right now !! From dead watch to ticking watch !! It probably is not very accurate, but its a practice watch, so I'll probably end up taking it apart again just for **BLEEP** and giggles. This is really fun. I'll post an update when I get a working stem in there.
