I am very new to this new study of watches. Just started disassembling some non working pocket watches to get a better understanding of the movement groups.  I love the intricacies of the gearing.  I hope to learn a lot from those more experienced.  Best

Welcome to WRT forum.

Thank you for your introduction and welcome to this friendly forum.

We all look forward to your contributions and continued involvement. 

I always suggest starting with P/W you are going about it the correct way. They are big and most are just like a basic watch movement. Stay away from P/W fusee movements they are very different.

This might help you in learning about the parts and what they are all called

Welcome to the forum Davi.

Thanks for the intro @DavidM122 welcome to the WRT forum! I'm also relatively new and I'm in the middle of my first service of an Elgin Grade 313 movement which has been stalled for a while as I was waiting for oil and a mainspring winder. Well, my oil arrived today and luckily I picked up an identical 2nd movement so as I disassemble that one it will help me remember how to re-assemble the first one! I've posted some shots of my watches here.
