Looks like the 4 large screws are used for the Balance Cock and the Barrel and Train Bridge. Back row, left.

 

Front row, I seperated 1-1-3, but I now feel that the first screw is just like the 3 to the right...  I think that two of the four front row screws are for the pallet bridge, and two are for the date dial guard.

 

Back row right are two screws that don't look alike since I damaged one.  It's counter sink head got pushed off because I forced a long screw from the other side of the movement, (Center wheel bridge) pushing the day jumper plate over the small screw... Center wheel bridge screw should be shorter

 

The screw to the left of them might be fit the setting lever plate , since it has a counter sunk head.

 

I think I am missing a pallet bridge screw. Adding up the screws needed, I think you need 7 on the back of the movement, and 6 on the face side.  I did not mention the screw that holds down the date and day finger.

 

Looking for another  7006A movement that I can use for reference/parts....

Easier to find a 7005 movement? It's the same movement without the day ring. Check our friend on ebay Mr    thewatchcollector.

I'm fairly new at this hobby and got burned a few times by the problem of what screw goes where when reassembling, so I now photograph every step of the dismantling process. I have a point and shoot digital camera with an excellent macro, so it's easy and quick to take a quick pic of each component and its screw(s), then save them in a logically named folder when it's all in pieces. Typically i will take about 50 pics per watch, and I've attached a few representative ones below. The one of the parts tray with all the pieces and their fasteners is especially useful I find.

And my big sin is that I don't always clean the fasteners unless they're really dirty as that way the groups of them don't get mixed up. 

 

It's always a head-scratcher moment when the watch is completely assembled, and running, but there's a screw, or two, left in the tray.

      A lathe with indexing that won't break the bank?

      By JohnR725 · Posted

      interesting video nice to see the machine what it can do now I wonder what it costs and I'm sure it's not in my budget. Plus the video brought up questions but the website below answers the questions? What was bothering me was the size of his machine 4 mm because I thought it was bigger than that? But then it occurred to me that maybe they had variations it looks like four, seven and 10. With the seven and 10 being the best because way more tool positions in way more rotating tools. Although I bet you all the rotating tools are probably separate cost https://www.tornos.com/en/content/swissnano   Then as we been talking about Sherline. Just so that everyone's aware of this they have another division their industrial division where you can buy bits and pieces. I have a link below that shows that just in case you don't want to have the entire machine you just need bits and pieces. https://www.sherline.com/product-category/industrial-products-division/   Let's see what we can do with the concept I explained up above and bits and pieces. For one thing you can make a really tiny gear very tiny like perhaps you're going to make a watch. Then another version the center part is not separate it is all machined from one piece. Then fills gear cutting machines have gone through multiple of evolutions. A lot of it based on what he wanted to make like he was going to make a watch unfortunately eyesight issues have prevented that. Another reason why you should start projects like this much sooner when your eyesight is really good or perhaps start on watches first and then move the clocks then local we have from the industrial division? Looks like two separate motors and heads. Then it's hard to see but this entire thing is built on top of a much larger milling machine as a larger milling machine gave a very solid platform to build everything.   Then like everything else that had multiple generations are versions the indexing went through of course variations like above is one version and the one below was the last version. Now the version below I mentioned that previously and somewhere in the beginning to discussion and somebody else had one in their picture. As it is a really nice precision indexing. Then I wasn't sure if I had a the watch photos here is his unfinished watch. No he wasn't going to make a simple watch like none of his clocks were simply either what would be the challenge and that.

      Lab Coats

      Use a Portwest Howie lab coat. They are the biological type so they have tapped cuffs so you don't end up getting the loose cuffs of normal lab coats catching everything.

      Chinese tools debate

      By Titanium · Posted

      Some of the Chinese tools ae great and can be purchased at a fraction of the price of Swiss ones, some are complete garbage and some I'm convinced are coming out the same factory as the branded ones.

      I found this string about this problem. I've not gone through it all, but I believe it also mentions making a spring. If not in this string, the info is online.
