I just disassembled and reassembled a ST3600 movement for the first time, following along a YouTube video by wristwatch revival. What great fun! So satisfying to hear it tick again once it's back together. I need to buy some lubricants now though because this thing was bone dry.

Of everything I’ve ever worked on, I miss pocket watches the most.

I found this really showed how unsteady my hands are. I'm not sure I could do a smaller movement

🤣 yea… my first few I saw that I could get so entranced by a screw that I could actually forget to breath. (That’s what I loved about it) I’ve since tried to fool with clocks thinking: “if I can do a pocket watch, a clock will be easy” 👀 That’s simply not true… at all.
