The VX43 Movement has a Day & Date which your watch doesn't and is a completely different size to the Y100.

I believe the crystals to be mineral glass. This stuff will work on that? I will look into it! Thank you. I thought the only way was using sandpaper, but since I haven't done that yet and this is not my watch I was hesitant. Also, thank you for the alternate movement suggestion. I will look into that as well. Also, thank you everyone for notes on checking a quartz movement out. I will have to find something similar. -

Something important about the cutting itself. No mater what kind of cutter - the steel ones can easy get dull, carbide ones can chip easy. One have to be carefull not to break the tip in both cases... On the picture is shown the correct position of the cutter when cutting most of the work. Pay attention where the shavings come out from. They get out from the middle of the cutting edge of the cutter, the tip is not engaged in the routine cutting at all. The tip is only used to form sharp internal angles. This way of holding the cutter gives longest time between sharpenings and eases cutting. Try to understand and use it and wili be pleased by the result. -
We discussed this before, no? You could use the flat punch to flatten and slightly tighten the hole in the rotor such that the axle (=shaft?) will hold in place. That looks very pretty! Nice job.
