How do you keep your bench tidy ?

Hi  In order to get a sembelance of order on the bench I build this tool holder, both tool holders rotate to enable easy access to the screw drivers, the flat bladed ones on the left and cross points on the left. My clock let down tools are fitted to the rear,   probes etc down the sides. Saves scrabbling in a tin.  heavy clock tools are stoed in two IKEA drawer units.   Keeps the place tidy, untill I start working.

    • Where on the inside do you want to strip. Is it visible? I would normally use reverse electroplating to strip the outside of the case, which also removes the inside plating. On most wristwatches the inner surfaces are not visible, so I'm not too worried about the finish.
    • Here's the details showing different / additional parts on the 1020. https://oldswisswatches.com/watch-parts-branded/omega-calibre-movement-and-spare-parts/omega-1020/ There are some NOS 1010 1580s still out their but conditions still isn't always that good unless you're willing to pay. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/405035477509?itmmeta=01J0JP3XWZ71Q7XKK5W8P6GQHF&hash=item5e4dfeea05:g:5a0AAOSwoThmawTD&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAAwP2liVaOU0W5Ai5GICgxygT5FH%2BGhWU%2FcwXbRGnaG01A7BpJzexk3HtNEy1z8OqdYn15%2FolBYnK56ib5ocROAv6iThYgzfDhGB3Mxbf%2FTAvV7QbIMSynXluugOGn6TgH8VuGkDpiaQ6xCDhMDK7v6uQbvY6CSHiRv8lLMlBYr9Epsr8YEGrB1uyBTozivvAD%2FpTTLNe9H7H4RNGRb0zJvkqxOq0%2FWVr9jGUlxakGo3xbnNpPoGSrbKQoTWuUA8n65Q%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR8zej9aEZA https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/326153923507?itmmeta=01J0JP3XX34DMANT3JDTFC84QF&hash=item4bf049ebb3:g:FoIAAOSw~iFmYf5j&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAAwPordCvUkW0WyFx4JfQ7A8uKAkExMrRqJ7Cy7QIuoioBkTvYVOEr%2BSTTZRy1CWoD--SoprDCpJrWP%2FDjVakYE5M01iIQy6PIi7%2FuJ90cbUURnIU33LP6RnWkUGYjCt7BkIsfYinKgiwx9NYp6mQlObxkx2uDxErz7WhCcx3ICuooi9omaM0aBXuvsOMMHH%2Fm11ByYIv%2BuOf0NLgLfbWJCDAMTAm5HI0dges3PL6Jp9GtY%2BjqtYFdqNQtKz010MIGQw%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR9Lej9aEZA
    • With the movement stopped, what do the hairspring coils look like - nice and evenly spaced?  The amplitude is low which might suggest the hairspring is touching something - is it nice and flat and not touching the cock or balance arms? Have you demagnetised?
