This is a quartz but one of my current favorites. Is 40mm and wears very nice. Was able to pick it up cheap and replaced the glass. Could not read the time!

Glad you got it open! What movement was inside?

The bombè jewel should have a slight convex on one side. Is there no indication on the packet of a jewel having a round edge ( olive ) to the hole ? -
The HMT are great to work on because they are so plentiful and varied and rock bottom cheap. But the movements have a couple of weird things that will cause you to break your first unless you heed: 1) the ratchet wheel screw as well as the crown wheel screw is left hand thread. They are never marked with 3 lines but they are always left hand and you will break one if you don't watch. 2) the mainspring also winds the "wrong" direction. Left hand, more common on Japanese movements. But yes I agree buy a couple of them. A lot, probably most are weird frankenwatches with terribly painted dials, but there are also plenty of interesting originals.

I have one piece of advice for you here and it's really important to learn it fast. Whatever happens just agree with your missus, if you want to live a long and happy life, she's right, she will always be right and you will never be right , even when you know you are right. You now owe me big time 😄
