I did the same, even cleaning the parts individually, very time consuming, but it works. Eventually you won't need too, you will recognise the difference. -

Hello and welcome to the forum. Just follow Richard’s instructions, pictures are always useful in determining problems. Cheap watches are usually pry backs and some can be very tight. -
There was a thread recently here on WRT (April or early May?) with ideas to keep the various parts sorted, so you may want to search for that. As mentioned above, with experience you will begin to notice the different traits of various screws as they relate to their function and it'll be easier to sort out, especially if you practice with a particular movement or movement family. I use a divided watch parts tray with lid when I'm working on something new to me. Each subsection of the movement is taken apart and the related bridges, springs and screws are placed together. I can then take a photograph before removing the large parts for cleaning. By referring to the picture you can easily reunite the parts during assembly after performing any needed manual cleaning of the screws and springs.

Hello and welcome. Click on add files and upload your photos. -
I have a cheap novelty watch that has sentimental value. I am guessing the battery is dead but I cannot get the back of the case open. The watch case is gold in color about 33mm with what appears to be a silver back which is 23mm and has "Image Watch Inc California" written on it. I cannot find any notches on it and have tried to pry the silver portion up. I cannot get it to move. I would post an image but do not see a way to do that. I found one on eBay that is similar. If you search for "Image Watches Inc California Unisex Project Wild." I am not promoting this just wanted to give you an idea of what I had. Just frustrated.
