The extraction

This is part one of a series on this watch. One of the case screws is broken so I also ordered a pair of those as well. Part two of the series will be installing and testing the watch. DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS AT HOME! 95,100,68,0,C

Yes, but I don't use a mainspring winder - I do it by hand. https://youtu.be/HIUN_Bl2vZk
