Thank you for your confirmation! I am aware the original jewel was burnished in place and that those jewels are almost impossible to source today so I thought I would try pressing one in. The original hole was smaller than 120 (probably 100), and I have reamed out all of the original bush to fit the 120 jewel. Since this watch is for my own collection and not valuable I will attempt to press in a 120 jewel directly and if it cannot hold I'll eventually need to produce a new bush for it.

When pegging and doing a pre-clean on very dirty movements I always use naphtha. As mentioned above, IPA isn't good solvent for oils and grease.

I have recently become interested in all things watch related. Repair videos are great, but I just had to get some hands on experience. I started with a ST36, as suggested by Alex. I think it's Alex, but I'm terrible with names. Anyway, that went pretty well, and I've went through almost five watches now. I say almost five, because I'm a bit stuck on this most recent one. New thread incoming soon. Besides that, hello to all.
