I just finished that project! It was an exercise in patience and humility. But in the end, the results were (to me), nothing short of amazing! I wear mine nearly daily now, leaving the Rolex at home to collect dust.

Also check out the "school" on TimeZone dot com under the Resources tab. The suggested package of tools and parts to be used while taking the PDF-based course comes with a basic movement, or you can buy your own. The course leads you through all the basics, where you disassemble and reassemble the ETA 2801 movement. The ofrei website has a great inventory of cases, hands, etc. There are several parts you'll need to purchase that don't show up on a list of what you'll need to case that movement -- the dial rest support and possibly the hour wheel to name two. Good luck!
