Hello and welcome from Leeds, England. You've arrived at the right place, lots of help and advice on here. -
Hi, fellow watchmakers! I am a new apprentice to watchmaking and I am starting to overhaul my first movement. I am very excited and thrilled about the hobby. I’d love to find a community that could help me grow in this amazing endeavor. greetings to all, G7

Lol so you're ready to be thrown on the scrap pile ? You best get all your watches serviced and fixed then if you ain't got long left 😆. -

I also just want to add to this topic in case people are searching for info, if you are inserting and removing the winding stem and crown more than a few times, be a aware the the sleeve surrounding the stem by the crown is threaded. so if at the end of your project, you can only wind the watch by pressing in the crown, adjust the sleeve. This confused me for a few days, and I disassembled the watch many times thinking I had an issue with the keyless works. -
I would recommend replacing the gut personally, that stuff gets really hard and likely at the point it is no longer malleable enough to properly untwist. https://www.cousinsuk.com/category/lines-ropes-cords it’s not expensive just fiddly, having done one with the gut I would more likely go with the perlon option now as that should be much easier to knot. All depends how original they want to keep it. Tom
