Thanks to everyone and their kind replies. Have been busy for the last weekend on so. My watch did have what appeared to be piece jammed in to wind it up without case. Have managed to take it apart and put it back together and it still runs and keeps time under a glass to keep it as clean as I can without a case. After working on Accutrons some of those screws seemed huge. Was a whole lot easier on my nerves. I’m still trying to get some of the basic tools Got my oil and oilers in recently and and now trying to get mainspring grease. Hard to buy everything at once. Friend at work has been keeping me busy with some of his watches, mostly finding right batteries, but he also found old 214 diamond dial he wants me to redo and change out on his. Enjoy doing that sort of thing but with work I kind of run short of time.
I was hoping someone did have experience with the usb microscope. I keep laptop handy while I work on watches. Can quickly refer to the course or in the case of accutrons the tech manual. Also handy in finding parts as today I am looking for crystal for old Benrus wristwatch from the 40’s. Thanks again
