Need help with 6694 oysterdate

A friend bought an old oysterdate 6694 manual wind. To make a painful
Story short, I sent it to a friend of mine who thought he could service it. He couldn’t, sent it back to me in 10,000 pieces. I felt lousy about how it all played out, so paid my friend his investment into
The watch. Now I have a watch in a bunch of pieces and not quite sure where to then next. I’m open to some suggestions and/or recommendations for a watch maker here on TRF.

Prior to disassembly, the crown would screw in. The watch would
Run briefly, but couldn’t keep time.

Feel free to chime in!

Thanks
Noah

I would expect that a competent watchmaker would know how it goes back together.

The problem may be finding one who will accept a basket-case.

Give Rik Dietel at Time Care Inc a call down in FLA; he seems like a nice guy and might have some direction for you.
