Are you doing this for fun? Have you dabbled into modding? Change dials, case, hands etc. Cuz even that seems too fiddly to me. And basically AliExpress watches are so cheap that it's not worth it to piece something together yourself if you even can + there's no resale cuz it's a bespoke watch with China quality parts.

From my experience unless you have a higher end Swiss watch like in-house ISH movements there's no point of servicing the movement cuz it will cost you more than harvesting a ETA from some glycine for like $200 and slapping it in. Seiko, china and miyota are pretty much throw away movements.

Also I've never really had to service a watch as my watches are relatively new, I rotate them, unless you drop it and it stops running.

But good on you for liking the mechanics of it, I just don't have the patience for something so fiddly.
