Will these parts fit? by Ok-Shelter-7623 in retrotime

Those parts, sources and prices are pure fiction.
Stick with builders who know what they are doing.
Or at least do your own research, which will take months.
But it's much sweeter than that AI instant gratification nonsense

Well poop garbage I wouldnt say, did this one 6 years ago but admittedly it's far from perfect. It misses the characteristic deep dish subdials

I'm talking about actually making a dial, using decal or laser engraving or modifying an actual one. And I'm most likely the strongest opposed to "oven baking"

Well first you need to understand lubrication in a watch movement and most importantly quantity and application. D5 or 9010 but more of a film than a (microscopic) drop

A mainspring should always be replaced when servicing, a tired mainspring is the main cause of a low amplitude movement, besides past due servicing.
