Here's one that I did for@ramrod I should have done a little more with the bezel on this one.

Thanks for putting that one up, Steve. I had so much to do list night that I didn't get around to posting. Ain't it beautiful, guys? Steve, I touched up the nylon insert on that bezel. I put it on a sanding block and smoothed it. It worked pretty well.

In this profession expect to spend plenty of your time sweeping and searching the floor, looking in clothing and God knows where for flying parts, some turn up right away others in a few weeks and some never.

To better pick up screws you can get sheets of rubber magnets. Another thing is one of those magnetic knife racks...but wrap in white paper first to make it easier to spot your part. Finally get rid of the shag carpet....if you drop something nonferrous your screwed. Anil

One sided razor blade to start, then case knife.

Well, I managed to remove the glue without damaging the hairspring. The collet was way too loose obviously so I tightened it and then remounted the spring. It went from gaining +600s/d to losing around -1000s/d Why you ask?? Well - because some muppet (probably the watchbreaker who glued the spring up and wondered why it was gaining so much) actually GLUED some extra weights to the balance rim!!! I never even noticed them until I started investigating why the watch was losing such a huge amount. I lopped them off and replaced two other timing screws that looked very damaged and hey presto. From this... To a more healthy... Bit of tweaking to do but at least I have something to work with now I made a video which i'll edit and publish in due course.
