I received this S.L.C. Maiale box and I thought it is a finished/ready to use product. 🫣🫣
I think this is going to be trickier than some of the movements we work on for our builds. Image
I’ll start after vacations.
Have a great new week Image
waiting for you to start!! I bought 3 different, but no time to start... need to increase motivation, please post some picture with progress )))

I’ll do that as soon as I start and have any progress. But this won’t be the case before mid of October.

That’s a cool build! Did the movement line up with everything easily?

Maybe for you @Yoda, I prefer to take my time and spend twice that amount carefully and expertly looking around on the floor for the yoke spring :lol:

When I was working in a shop, these rather "simple" movements took twenty minutes to service and my personal record was 14 movements a day back then.

That’s amazing! If I wasn’t cleaning everything by hand it would cut my time down by a lot, but I think my fastest rebuild was a squeaky clean omega 960 and that one took me about an hour and a half. With some of the old/rusty/dirty movements I get from eBay I feel more like a dentist than a watchmaker.
