Hardest part was the movement clips. Those little bastards are so small and like to jump out of the tweezers. I even dropped one, but was able to find it (thankfully the movement came with a couple, just in case)

If I work on my watch again, I'll get quality tweezers, a new loupe (or desktop magnifying glass with light), and a movement holder of some sort.
I've started pulling out parts trays when I'm working on anything with small parts, screws etc. I picked up a bunch of SKOGSVIKEN soap dish/trays at Ikea for $2 that I use. I have a larger silicone tray I use as my main non slip/scratch working area so parts don't just bounce or roll away when dropped.
