Noobie feeling quite chuffed

[Tiny]

Morning all 

Well I'm feeling quite chuffed with my self.

I wasn't getting on with my stainless steel tweezers so I bought some AA brass tweezers. So armed with these new tweezers I have stripped down the date side of my Salav 2414 movement and NOT had a single part enter the unknown area that's call the floor. I can also twist the smallest screw 360 degrees with out a single "ping" where did that go. This may sound very basic to veteran's but to me it's a mile stone won.

yes I know it's early but I was up at 5am and decided after putting my bins out I would dress my screw drivers under a loupe with a diamond oil stone 600, 1000 also while I was at it I started a spread sheet for screw drivers example Black 1.0mm length in jig 23.22mm Length in jig is so next time I get the same angel when it come's to redressing that screw driver.

I'm also getting into the habit of taking a photo before and after removal of a part.

I don't expect to reassemble the movement as it's a watch that doesn't work also it's been butcherer before found sealant as a o'ring and the dial is very bad shape looks like it's been hit with a hammer in some places.

BUT I haven't loss any parts I'm going to clean parts and then keep as spares.

Happy Noobie Monday

So far I'm not quibbling with my #2 stainless Horotec tweezers but I just ordered a #7 Dumont (bent - also in stainless) to see if I like them better for some things.
