Following advice on here I’ve bought a few watches on eBay to practice my skills. One was non-functioning - didn’t run, couldn’t set hands - and when I opened it up it was obvious why. A previous tinkerer presumably had part dismantled the movement and just stuffed it back in the case. The rotor was free, as was the train wheel bridge. 
 

It’s an AS 2063 caliber. I’ve found the parts list and I think everything is there. What I’m struggling with is screws. Some were loose in the case, I don’t know if I’ve got them all, and I don’t know which screw goes where. 
 

Apart from trial and error, is there a good way to identify the right screw for the right bit?

If you've got his "Parts List" - there should be no difficulties identifying which screw goes where:

Each screw has the part number and description.

That’s very helpful, thank you. Far more detailed than the parts list I’d found elsewhere which didn’t go into detail about which screw went where.

one of things helpful to do with screws is to arrange them in groups of identical screws. Usually once you have them all together ill become apparent what at least most of them are for. A lot of the components like the pallet fork bridge will either have one or two screws and those screws will be different etc. so you usually have the bigger category the plates screws and it makes it a lot easier if things are in categories.
