Thank you for your introduction and welcome to this friendly forum.

Not necessarily. I normally listen to music at moderate volume and the reading is not affected, neither is by talking. But if I drop a driver on the bench where the stand is, it draws some points off. It is sensitive and selective at the same time.

I insert a safety razor blade into the seam where the dimple is, open a gap, work your way around the case to widen the gap enough so you can use a utility knife to crack it open.

Actually there is a dimple one and the front side and another on the boat side, but I don’t have the tools to open it without possibly damaging the watch. Any idea what what I can do?
Question
drysideshooter 2
I've been wanting to branch out a bit in my watch hobby. I've mostly been modding Seiko's, which I'm now finding a bit limiting. I've regulated some other movements, including ETA's, but never really delved into them much.
I just purchased two NOS ETA 2801-2's. I've always had a thing for hand wound watches anyway. The movements don't have the power stop/hacking lever, so I will order a couple of those. I'll eventually case the movements.
I would like to learn to disassemble and lube a 2801-2. Any recommendations on how to best accomplish that would be genuinely appreciated. I know that movement is covered in the Timezone level 1 course, but I don't know if that's the best way to learn this movement. I'm fine with video or a book or online material with good pictures. I already have a decent set of tools and a time grapher.
Any advice or direction appreciated.
