> [@TurboTSi](#): > > Are you finding it pretty easy to take apart these automatic movements and reassemble them properly? My biggest concern would be forgetting where everything goes. I invested in a digital microscope with photo / vid capabilities. After awhile you learn the basic assembly steps that don’t vary much. Of course different movements have their quirks. Learn something new on every one. The real challenge is picking up tricks to make assembly operations better. ---
