As soon as it's assembled (the basic movement) I put it on the vibrograf, to see how it runs

Running great, nice close lines and running about 16 seconds per day fast, pretty good out of the box and no adjustments things are looking up….

Next challenge is the 30 minute timer main wheel, it's too long and not the correct diameter on the tip for the transfer gear.
Here they are side by each, and they are interchangeable, so another hurdle over…

Note the one on the left has a extra step on the tip, this is for the hand, but we are not putting a hand on this one, a gear will be pressed on to it, left ETA, right Asian.
More assembly pics…



Ok were done on the back of the movement, lets see how we do on the dial side. Here's some pics, this is all ETA except for the 2 gears you saw above…
