Movement strip down

Just watched a video of a guy striping down a 3185 movement for cleaning/ serviced and then putting if all back again - amazing skill and knowledge! Hard to believe anyone could even have designed and built this in the first instance. Can nearly see why a service costs so much....nearly!

. . . in the mean time, check this amazing video of a strip-down & re-assembly of a Sub 3135 movement. Awesome.

Except, what's that tiny little ity-bity part left on the table after re-assembly? Oh well. It's so damn small -- probably not important.

Interesting video. Any reason not to wind down the main spring before removing hands, dial and disassembly of dial side? Is it because this movement hacks?

Is it standard practice to clean the main plate with the hairspring attached?

Thanks

You want to keep to hairspring attached so it can't get tangled during the cleaning process.

For you, Vanessa! If I attempted something like that there would be left over parts, thrown screwdrivers, well you get the picture!😳

It just takes experience :D I've serviced a very poorley Omega 613 movement and it all was running till i found a broken pivot at the bottom of the escapement wheel !! The part is now discontinued and there are no spare parts anywhere !! Thats the end of that then :)
