Best of luck! Have you done this type of thing before?
I wish I had the guts to try it!

Replacement

The crown would not screw down....the hands pitted etc. The pepsi bezel a mess. The plexiglass crystal very scratched. Lost the minute pinion. Do you happen to have a picture of the Rolex support 2020?

Too late of an advise: Take photos (almost) every step of the way.

Yes, great idea...or video. Did that when rebuilding three in-line 6 mercury Thunderbolt boat carbs. Would have been dead in the water without it.

Is the jewel of the mainspring barrel on the mainplate missing? You know where the barrel will sit?
