Can you see the stop works? A lot of this depends upon how to answer the first question? Depending upon things you may not build a access the stop works without taking the barrel out. Then it's all the more fun with the power off not impossible just more interesting. It's much easier to do it in the watch if you can. Then you can let the power off without removing to stop works it will just come to a stop of course. How much power is there depends upon who set it up. There's not necessarily a rule of having one turn it depends on the length of the mainspring the watch itself and if you're trying to pick an appropriate part of the mainspring to run the watch. And I was of you don't have enough power you might put more than one turn initially see her on the top are the mainspring or if you too strong you might just barely put any as long as the watch runs when it comes to a stop. -
Hi JD, this is a good read to help understand no name watches. https://www.vintagewatchstraps.com/whomademywatch.php -
JDM is completely right. But honestly I think the hairspring would be a tall order even for an experienced watchmaker now... I'll be taking pictures today. Honestly to me this is really the hardest part of the whole watchmaker thing. Hairsprings are so delicate and my hands don't seem to be steady enough yet, especially my left hand. And as jdm said, I just learn from Mark's course. I wish I could learn this in person. Thanks!
