Hello fellow watchmakers, I have a question for all of you, especially those who regularly work with the Sellita SW200-1 movement. At my workplace, we mostly handle watches with the SW200-1. As many of you might already know, this movement has a known issue with the ratchet wheel teeth breaking. However, recently, I've observed a noticeable increase in problems like: More frequent ratchet wheel teeth breakage Screws getting loose and falling off Sudden drops in amplitude And other irregular behaviors So here’s my main question: Before doing the final assembly of an SW200-1, what are the mandatory checks I should perform to ensure proper functioning and avoid post-service failures? For example, I already check: Ratchet wheel teeth condition Canon pinion friction Accuracy and amplitude Screw tightness Jewels condition But I’d love to hear from all of you — what other important things do you check during assembly? Any tips, tricks, or personal checklist items would be extremely helpful for me and ot hers working on this movement.

Welcome to the forum. I'm not aware of an acrylic that size you could use a crystal lift on. Can you post a photo of the watch along with the side profile.
