Chinese 2813 - A novice's guide for dismantling, cleaning, servicing, assembling and adjusting

Thank you for this tutorial, very well documented. I'm getting into a 2813 as well and this helos a lot.
The thread is getting old, any updates planned?

Looking forward to your thoughts on the re-assembling. I hate the 2813 trying to fit the bridge on to four pinions...

There's actually 5 pinions that have to be stood up straight and fitted into jewels as the combo barrel/train bridge is replaced. It's ultra fiddly to do, the first time I tried it was more than 3 hours to get it on. It's like those jugglers with dinner plates on sticks. It gets easier with repetition but I don't have much tolerance for it anymore. Easier to just buy a new movement.

Is mine actually 2813? Looks a bit different than yours unless the do vary a bit.

Thanks for this. Going to get onto ebay to order some movements to test my skills, lr lack thereof yet, on. Appreciate the write up

Top bridge goes back on at about 10:15. Trust me this is no fun.

Aaaand that's the moment when you turn the screws and hear the dreaded *crack of a jewel. Then proceed to cousinsuk.com and buy a new movement, ha.
