Put the watch together and adjusted the balance to the round. Did rub on the balance cock so I took the lower pivot down a tad and it worked really well in all positions.1 point

Been housebound for the last 11 days due to my first Gout attack so no new pics. Wearing my recently part restored 6119-5000 today. Still trying to find the replacement handset I got from Adrian @ VTA1 point

You can have them completely "reaimed" for the desired work. Mine work fine for my uses.1 point

I would say you have a hairspring issue. Looking at the first pic it is running incredibly fast. It might just be magnetised which causes the coils of the HS to stick together. If is not magnetised if it was me I would remove the balance and clean in a degreaser and dry. Then re-lube the cap jewels. This type of fault is a matter of elimination.1 point

This is take on the tools: 1: ??????????? 2: A screw case opener 3: Looks like a screwdriver holder 4: Types of clamps mainly used to resize hand pipes 5: ?????????? 6: ????????? 7: I think this is a tool for punch holes in main springs 8: A pin vice 9: Might be either various hand setters or quartz trimmers, which were required in some vintage quartz movements.1 point

Number 1 is a case back opener I think the long metal rod fits through holes on the silver round slotted part the black parts are dies that fit into it also, these dies I think are for Rolex case backs are they very finely toothed along their edge ?1 point

4) are hand pliers. They are for holding watch hands so you can ream out the hole in them. I need bigger photos of everything else before I couls guess what they are. Nice selection of tools you picked up1 point

Have you cleaned the watch in a watch cleaner? If so did you take apart all the shock from the balance, if so have you put it back correctly? No oil on the pallet pivots.1 point

I have the same machine as you and the only difference from the one in Marks video is that he "spinns" the motor from jar to jar - in our version of the machine you spinn the jars to the motor!1 point

red in o rings means "high temp" formula. in any event, o rings ARE lubed with a special grease per formula - that will not will cause it to expand (and not fit into the gruve).. to play it safe, leave it dry or contact the maker. vin1 point

Dry as is. Silicon would maybe get the caseback to slide of.1 point

There should be no need in lubrcating casback gasket. If the gasket is in bad condition just replace it. Having the corect tools for fitting the back plays an important part.1 point

My understanding is that they can be left dry. I'm not sure if it would be all that bad if it was lubricated though.1 point
