Great write-up. Thanks for sharing. Interesting little blurb on the helium escape valve at the end- it should be replaced with every service. Wonder if the rep valves screw out like the gen.

Very interesting read, thanks! Interesting to read that he considers a simple ETA caliber more reliable that the 3135! ETA is obviously bang for the buck.

Just had a quick look at the link and I have to say as someone who knows absolutely nothing about disassembling a watch one thing struck me immediately. Having seen many photos of assembled watch movements and being totally ignorant of the inner workings I had always assumed they were made up of literally hundreds of parts and this has always put me off learning how to work on movements. Anyway, back to the thing that struck me, the photo of the disassembled movement, broken down into its constituent parts was a revelation to me as there are far fewer parts than I had imagined and thus is very encouraging to the would be amateur, it all looks far less daunting. So thanks for this post as it has allayed some of my unfounded fears.
