Superclone watch servicing

I picked up a full engraved blue hairspring vs3135. I might be pushing my limit but I went ahead and bought a bunch of gen 3135 parts that I want to swap in. Obviously I’m still a ways away from that. Couldn’t pass up on the price. Figured if I’m gonna put together my own franken, why not do it right.

everyday we hit a limit and push it.
Practice taking out and putting back the stock parts until it becomes familiar.

I thought about picking up a digital microscope. The ones with LCD screens. Could be useful recording the process in case I get stuck and need to reference the video. I hear it’s quite difficult working on those things tho…

I have parts tray, air blower, loupe and oiler needles coming in next few days. Waiting on hand pushers and levers until I need it. Can you recommend any particular books? I’ve looked at a few but haven’t been able to land on one I know would be helpful yet.

Re books, not really. As mentioned by others YouTube Videos are one source, manufacturer spec sheet is the other. If you can, I would look for watchmaking workshops, useful for all the little tricks you don't find on books or on the spec sheet..
