Problem solved! In my attempts to remove the roller bearings I had displaced one of them very slightly (about 0.5mm) and they were binding a little when I closed the housing up tight. I reseated it firmly. Now everything is running very freely, and the motor has no problem getting up to speed. The bearings are noisy, so I think a replacement is due at some stage, but I'm just happy to have the machine running for the time being. Now to find out if it actually cleans watch parts! Many thanks to all those who tried to help so far. If anyone has any more questions about the machine or wants to add their own knowledge, please feel free to continue the topic. -
I'm disgusted at the way you opened the watch. If you do not have the correct tools you should have left it. What the hell would you have done if something went wrong. It would have cost you a packet, I don't expect you have insurance to have covered your work. -

🤔 i dont get that, i can see how pushing the center would splay the rim edge outwards. Reducing the caseback diameter will grip the case harder ? Haha yes i do get it 🤦♂️senior moment, too busy thinking about the missus fashion watch that i did 2 days ago, the retaining lip was on the caseback not the case. I'll go back to sleep now 😅 -

Pulling on the center of the case back will cause it to dome outwards, reducing its diameter and causing it to grip the case even harder, as pointed out by @Geotex above.
