@Michael1962 a suggestion Michael, if I had the space I would think about planning it kinda like a kitchen on the principal of a working triangle, though for this application maybe a square. A kitchen after all is a workshop for making food. I would like to have a workbench, cleaning/polishing bench, testing bench and a machining bench. Tom -
I use a normal movement holder (Bergeon 4040). I've never had any problems or marked the dial. The top lip is about 1mm, so as long as you use that, there should be no problem. I don't think I've seen a second hand come that close to the edge of a dial. -
Great advice in this video and I maywell have to get one of these when funds allow. -
I used to just remove the stem pop the movement in its case then put the stem back in check everything then back on the timer. -

That's the right technique Mal 👍 If you are ok with a loupe ( which I'm not ) then pick up the dial in your left hand and make a tripod holder out of 3 fingers and then exactly how Mal and me described with your right hand, press and flick out the stem at the same time. You need three fingers to do this, i use my ring ring finger , sounds like mal uses his little finger, just whatever you feel comfortable with. The key point and dangerous side to this is the tweezers or driver slipping off the release screw. Stablise your left arm by resting your elbow on your bench, so that you can hold the movement horizontally flat, use a x5 loupe to view and good light so you can see well and have a good tight fitting screwdriver to push the release down. Or as suggested a pusher mounted solid upside-down somewhere then all you need to do is push your movement up to it. I'll rig something up in a bit to show you what i mean. Something like this, but tbh its better to just learn to do with your fingers.
