When demagnetizing a balance thats not in the movement, I put it in a small jar with some hexane and place that on the demagnetizer. That way the coils won't get damaged.

Try rubbing/rolling a piece of rodico on/over the parts after pegging the jewels and the really dirty bits (like inside the barrel etc). You'll find that the rodico will remove most of the dirt.

Or a design flaw whereby the friction fit impulse pin over time starts to ping out of perpendicular from slamming into the fork. Doesn't help you, but it would be interesting to sample about 10 of them at various ages.

I realized I left out one additional component that could easily be confused as the ring from an armored crystal if you come across one during disassembly. Depending on the movement, some of their watches in this style had what Benrus called a dial frame. These came in gold and silver (toned) and were for specific case/movement combinations. For the series #7001, two movements are listed as requiring the dial frame, the DR (ETA 2370) and EM (ETA 2390). It is also listed as possible for the automatic FE (ETA 2451) but with the caveat "use a dial frame only if it fits easily over the dial". These rings were the same diameter as the crystal and sat between the crystal and dial inside the case, so they didn't really play a role in waterproofing but were a spacer to secure the dial.
