Did you release the barrel power through the click?

Check end and side shake on staff and all arbours before removal.

Good with tweezers and use of tools in general, checking date change, canon pinion tightness.

Great video! I enjoyed watching you disassemble the watch.

If you're asking for comments and feedback, there are two things I would say...

You might find it easier and less likely to damage the movement or lose parts by putting the parts tray closer and to the side, as you are reaching over the movement to put the parts away .

One more thing is, get some descent tweezers. It'll make the process much easier and far more enjoyable with good tools. Yes, you can take apart and assemble with cheap tweezers, but you'll be surprised when you use a quality pair how the experience is totally different. Get a piece of folded over 1000 grit wet & dry paper with water and give the insides of the gripping face of the tweezers a slight brushed finish as you squeeze them together and draw the wet and dry through. It'll make gripping a different story as well! 

Apart from that, good job! Keep it up and look forward to seeing more of your work...
