From the UK I bought cheap tiny vials of 9010, 9104 (HP1300), 9415 and 8217 from ebayer dondy0114 in this listing: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/276048651571 They came in their tiny containers exactly as pictured and I can see no contamination under my cheap "20x" eyeglass. I've done a few watches and have no reason to doubt the authenticity, but also no way to check it! The seller speaks of taking care over expiry dates. As a mere tinkerer I'm confident enough. And although it might work out at three times the price per ml, the tiny amounts are enough for a few watches per year almost indefinitely! So it's a good buy for someone like me. -

I have been reading and reading. Videos, more reading. Yes, I should start with an ST36 but for some reason I look at the box of watches I already have and wonder if I should buy a new movement. I have a few of these 11DP watches and picked up a parts watch on eBay. It runs but amplitude visually appears to be 120 degrees best and often a slow 90 degrees or less. It does run, just very slow. I currently intend this movement to be my introduction. They seem plentiful. And, I would wear one proudly if I ever get it to run. I think that is the appeal vs. a ST36. My questions: Photos. I try to use my iPhone but suspect I need a magnification device to attach to it to have useful photos. This is to memorialize the take down. Parts. With all I have read and watched I don't see how people keep everything separated. My eyes cannot see always that a screw is just a bit different. What is a newbie to do in an effort to keep everything labeled and segregated? I have purchased a first cut of tools and worked on getting old family quartz watches going by replacing movements. No cleaning yet. No demagnification yet. a 10x loupe is the only magnification. I think I might be aided with a 5x. Oils, parts organizers, demagnification tools and a 5x loupe. And a decent 4040 movement holder which was out of stock and the cheap one is junk! Movement ok? Best method of image capture? Storing parts, screws? More loupe options? What am I missing? -

I think that would have worked but the tweezers did the job. It didn’t. It did pop out a tiny bit but not enough for the wrench -

Thanks @tomh207 indeed it made sense that one is better off with a too long than too short stem as it can be shortened but not lengthened. I think I’ll reopen the watch and as you mention creep toward the correct length of the stem. I’ll also regulate the watch a bit. Compared to before I disassemble and reassembled it it the amplitude seem correct but it acquired a small beat error and where it was before running at +5s per day dial up and -? (Single digit don’t remember which) sideways it is now running at -4s dial up and a -7s sideways. I think I must have moved the regulator a bit inadvertently.
