So the time has come to do a small tutorial on how one could assemble an own noname Watch out of parts harvested from the deepest
coners of the web. I took a look in my drawers and after a stiff G&T I decided there might be parts enought to make a try.
This should not be looked as the final solution but rather as a complement to Everything else created out there.
The tutorial is a 50+ page Collection of Pictures and Words in a PDF format which makes it possible to read it offline too. The Pictures are mine original works so you could even use it as a 
slideshow at your next Company party!

The result from mine attemt looks Little like this..

The good news is, I have got couple of SS cases for a perfect fit with ETA 2824 and most eta automatics.

The bad news: I need and expect an escapement wheel for bulova 11blacd in return .:lol::geek:.

Regards

Have a escape wheel for a Bulova  11 blacd . If you like i can send.  Maybe we can do something as i same as HSL from Sweden . No charge for me but do HSL want the case feel free to send it to him. Send me a PM and we work something out.

Thanks for the offer but I'm not in a need for a watch case right now, maybe someone else wants to try out a build?

I read the thread now properly and see that you already done a build.  My offer stands if Nucejoe needs a escape wheel . Have one that looks okay .

Thank you @rogart63 , for sending me the escapewheel. I will pass on three winding stems and three staffs to forum members in appreciation of your generosity.

      What are these Seitz B-Jewels?

      By Jon · Posted

      I picked up a similar amount of these jewels some years ago in a watch and clock fair. Every now and then they come in handy. This week I've got a rubbed in bombe jewel in the balance cock that is cracked and needs replacing. Very handy to have a vintage assortment of these type of jewels!

      Great diagram with the teeth and pinion count. Simple way to reduce the speed of the hour wheel by the 12:1 minute wheel. Genius and yet so simple. Always good to reinforce the principal by what you have done in your drawing. Keep doing that. I had a drawing on my wall for years showing me this which is very similar to the drawing you have done. Here's a formula to work out the beats per hour of a watch movement. The movement's BPH is dictated by the wheel teeth and pinion count and the hairspring being vibrated to the correct BPH by finding the pinning up point on the hairspring using a vibrating tool.  The reason in the formula there is X2 on the top line is because there are two pallet stones.

      So I just wanted to say "thank you" again.  The angle is the key bit it seems and yes, it did basically just fall, or float, back into position when I got it lined up just right. I had meant to add that now that I see how it goes in, I totally see how it came out in the first place, and that whomever cloned the original movement didn't pay much attention to the fine details around the setting or how it interfaces with the balance cock or the "rings" on the regulator and/or stud carrier arms.
