While this may work (and my experience tells it also can fail to disaster) it doesn't add to your knowledge.
ok but it would be helpful to see a video o read a tutorial so that one can see what to expect and avoid disaster.
If there is no other source of information, this is a good response However (I start a lot of my advice with "however"), start with a crap movement, or some chinese donors to hone your skills. You could also check out Nick Hacko's watch introduction lessons here. http://www.clockmaker.com.au/diy_seiko_7s26/chapter1.html Good Luck with your project.
These are a couple that I had bookmarked, not fully detailed but might give you some help http://www.mwrforum.net/forums/showthread.php?t=47412
Looking at MWR pictures is great, but it actually doesn't tell you how to do the work. Looking at the Seiko lessons, there are some, shall we say, "interesting" techniques shown there. Things that any watchmaking instructor would hang you for - winding a mainspring in the barrel by hand (bad idea), with bare fingers no less! Yikes! Rodico plastered all over a clean movement, oiling jewels from the underside of the plate, etc... If you have never serviced a watch movement before, this is not really the one to learn on. Start with something big an relatively easy, like an ETA 6497 or better yet an Asian clone. Also realize that we watchmakers train for years to be able to do this work - it's not really a DIY job you decide to tackle on the weekend... Good luck! Cheers, Al
I have a lesson with pictures how to change/fix the second hand friction spring on a 564, do you want it ?
