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.

    • …then again it could be a recase. 
    • As a child/young person, I remember how the police sometimes appeared in the middle of a country road and blocked off the traffic. A few minutes later, a fighter jet flew over our heads (loudly and respectfully, almost making us crap our pants), landed in front of us and was towed into the forest. It made us feel safe. I just realized that I've come a long way from demagnetizing watch movements, but isn't that the charm of associations and discussions? Anyway, I'll stick to the topic from here on!
    • Hi everyone Anyone have any ideas what this caliber is? Is it a genuine B & M as I understand the market is flooded with copies? Thanks.
    • You know it H Ours was scrapped early 60s. Nothing wrong with joining the army H , i would have love the physical and discipline side of it, but i can't follow or be lead by numpties.
    • That's exactly why you need to exercise, or you'll meet with an untimely death! 😉 Well, good thing you weren't born in my neck of the woods then as you would have no choice. Back in the day when it was time for my service (early 80s) this small country could mobilize 800,000 soldiers in a few days, and mobilization supplies with modern weapons and munitions were everywhere and we had an air force second to none. Then beginning in the 90s it was scrapped because our politicians decided that Russia would become a Western democracy. In discussions with colleagues, friends and acquaintances where I mentioned I thought it was imprudent to scrap our capacity for self-defense, I was laughed at. I wonder if anyone of those people would laugh today.
