Also looking for a good set of screwdrivers 

Any recommendations nothing to fancy as it's a hobby more then a business 

So around 10 to 20 quid will do

When it comes to screwdrivers one can buy some inexpensive ones but I would recommend to get a couple of used ones in a slightly better quality for a lower cost.
It's not just the blades but also the Index finger has to rest comfortably on the little rotating nob on the top of the screwdriver, one has to think about things like this since you use that finger to apply force down on to the screw.
If it doesn't rotate freely it is harder to turn the screwdriver around with like me with my middle finger and thumb.
This technique prevents the screwdriver to slipp from the screw and damaging it.

PS. I took a look on your wish list and this is what Santa might deliver, a slight upgrade kit if it fits.

So HSL Your the person who always outbids me on the Bay for Tissot spares !!!:startle:

No I'm innocent but I might have a moment or two when my memory becomes blank. Since my firm belief is that practice makes perfekt I always want to have one or two movements to practice on, not much difference from any other sportsmen.
I just wish it could stop at one or two movements.. like a squirrel I have small stashes like this here and there..sad..

I received the parts you sent the other day 

They look beautiful and went about installing it but the face is to big to fit the case

So i put on the old face and it seems to working well so far 

Is there a nack to put on the hands and they seem to become loose as soon as you touch them

I have Brought a hand installer just waiting on it to get delivered 

Going to try and repair the other movement and see if I can use the face and get a case that fits 

Will put some pics on when I can 

Thanks again

      1972 Bulova President "E" Sea King 11ACACB movement

      Unfortunately I'm not that lucky. I started on the train side and after I noticed the binding I pulled everything out except the driving wheel to rule everything else out. It still binds. I'm going to double check that the pinion is fully seated on the staff first, then if no joy I'll push the bridge jewel up a fraction of a mm. Fingers crossed!

      Thank you for the advise!! It worked. The setting screw was a lock/unlock to remove the rotor.

      I have that French tech sheet too, it is a little different than the English one (eg, it doesn't have the auto works diagram). BTW, it looks like you are looking up the case number in the 1979 ABC supplement. The 1974 ABC catalog does have the 3093 case. As you determined it takes the 1222-5 crystal.  When I serviced my President 'A' (which also takes that crystal), I was able to fit a 29.8 crystal from my DPA crystal assortment. Those are, in my opinion, a great deal. The assortment comes with 10 sizes each from 27.8mm to 32.4mm in 0.2 increments. I pretty much use them for any non-armored crystal that takes a high dome crystal. I think they no longer make them but Cousins has still has some in stock but when I bought them they were around $40 for the set and now they are around $100. Still, at 40 cents a crystal it's still a good deal. For the large driving wheel, I remember I once assembled the keyless/motion works first and when I placed the large driving wheel it was interfering with the setting wheel on the dial side as the teeth were not fully meshing and it wouldn't fully seat. If that isn't the issue I got nothing and am looking forward to see how you solve it 🙂

      Not sure, but just looking at it, it seems like the screw on the right may be a fake? The one on the left may not be a screw in the regular sense at all, rather a 2 position device, I think you need to point the slot towards either of the 2 dots and one will secure and one will open. Like I said this is just my best guess looking at the pictures.
