You'll most likely need a few tools like a small tip screwdriver set and a movement holder. For your purpose, any simple 3 hand Chinese movement will do. You could get one from eBay or Ottofrei for less than 15$. Also, remember to unwind the main spring completely before you start your disassembly! You can Google how to do this.

Also, you might find this video informative.

I'd get a DG2813 or a Seagull 2130 or Hang Zhou 6300 as they are the Asian 21J or Asian ETA 2824 that people speak of.
The ETA 2824 has many videos on YouTube to study. Probably same for the DG2813 which is a copy of a miyota. The DG is cheap but the ETA reps will tell much better time.

Also loads of cases and dials and hands out there so you can build your own rep. Check out rafflesdial and raffles time.

I got good advice from Trailboss when I created a similar thread
