Welcome aboard Steve, and well done with your endeavours so far. Like you I enjoy re-finishing the cases as much as working on the movements. I'm sure you'll fit in here just fine, and I look forward to seeing the fruits if your labours sometime.1 point

Only have a closeup of mine. The watch sits upright. You can use foam to wedge it so it stays put smack in the centre of each ring. Took 4 days to fully charge mine. Edit. Its the base from this set.1 point

How about a basic ultrasonic jewelry cleaner with store bought jewelry cleaner solution? Is it effective enough? I really can't afford a professional cleaner at this time. Sorry for the double posting.1 point

Makes me proud every time I wear this beauty. Very subtle but for those in the know, a terrific vintage timepiece with provenance :)1 point

For anyone thinking of doing any of the courses, you don't have to purchase any tools or movements from them, it does say on their website that the toolkit must be bought with the course but the course can be accessed without buying anything. I know this because I bought the course first (each one is $75) read it and then ordered the tools and movement from them a couple of weeks later. Ok you asked for it! Lots of photos of the disassembly process below. I did not remove the mainspring from the barrel but I did practice on a couple of mainsprings from some broken movements which went well but I would like to get some winders at some point. I reattached the balance to the plate before putting everything in the cleaning machine as per Marks technique because this makes more sense to me and I cleaned the balance jewels separately.
