Checklist for servicing a watch

I just came across this and thought I would share.

if had followed this on every watch I worked on it would have saved me some time... although lessons learnt the hard way sometimes stick better!

Very informative - I have printed it off for future reference (have not struck a bat yet in terms of working on a mechanical movement  ) . In terms of lubrication, there seems to be plenty of focus on oiling wheel pivots and applying grease to the barrel wall - but what about gear teeth ? - do you oil them at their last seen contact point ? - also what about the stem clutch levers - do you lubricate them?. Just trying to learn hence the Qs

I've just looked at that list and I must say it is just common sense. Everything listed should be done when overhauling a watch, certain parts of this list also applies to clocks.   

For those just starting out it will come in very handy.
