Crystal tool came in today, so I gave it a go on the Benrus. Got the movement out and give it a naptha cleaning and was able to spin it up. So that is some progress. But Im not getting a pulse reading, and no movement when reassembled with the battery. Because of the unusual movement Im not sure what to try next. Do I unsolder that huge Motorola crystal and replace with "a modern tiny 32.768Hz tube". The linked site shows that as a common issue. I am a bit concerned with my solder skills on something this size and delicate. -
I've just got a piece of tube I place over the stem and hit to deform the washer until it comes out. I then flatten the washer so it's almost flat, replace the gasket, press the washer back with a slightly larger tube to finish flattening it. -

I'm in the " crack on with what you have " camp. Since you are in the Uk Ingersolls are plentiful, mostly the Great Britain models, but the Swiss made ones are still fairly common on Ebay. The New Chinese clones, were difficult to get parts for...🤔....I'm not sure if they still are, the quality wasn't that great either when it came to things like shock springs. Another complete watch same model Ingersoll will probably set you back less that a couple of clone parts that you will almost certainly lose or break. I never took apart a new working movement, I don't believe it held back my learning at all, in fact quite the opposite. -

Yeah I can't take credit there - I thought the plastic punch thing was a work of genius when I first discovered it! -
