Longines Cal 12.68z

Got this scrapper from the flea market with damage escape wheel, this my first watch repair project. Ordered one escape wheel from ebay and after a very long wait got it, and the watch is done and ticking fine.
I disassemble the watch to learn its mechanism and as a general practice on watch making.


Do not have a cleaning machine, the watch was in a very poor condition. It was over oiled with a broken escape wheel.

That's the culprit already replaced.
In the process of assembling lost one screw ordered from ebay a bunch of screws and luck was on my side. There is one that fit.

Done, in the center and will adjust its timing later.
I don't think the hands are original, and the crystal looks new.
