I've gotten pretty good with the 2824-2 now, and can get it running at 300+ amp, really good timing consistently (I have one ready for regulation tonight). I can oil the shock jewels consistently, installing springs without losing them, etc.

I disassembled my first Miyota and holy shit. This is going to be a challenge! It's hard to explain, but you can tell that it's not really meant to be serviced the way Swiss movements are. It can still be done of course, but it's not really designed to be convenient. We'll see I guess.

I got a new multimeter, and all the coils in the TAG Heuer tested out ok, so for now I assume it just needs a service to get all the hands running and resetting properly. I'll do that this week and see how it goes. I bought a small amount of oil that is specifically called for quartz movements (0.5 ml, no joke, but that's plenty enough)
