How many screws were used in assembling a Elgin 1931 Grade 382 16Size 17Jewel obn7p?

My guess is 34 without the balance screws.

Wayne,

How about 40 screws, NOT including the following:

Banking screws (2)
Micro regulator screw (1)
Safety pinion arbor (1)
Pallet lever arbor (1)
Balance screws (12-18)

Now are you going to help me put my watch back together?

Let's see........

Crown wheel screw -1
Ratchet wheel screw - 1
Dial feet screws - 3
Plate screws - usually 7
Pallet cock screw(s) - 1 or 2
Jewel screws - as few as 4, or as many as 25
Hairspring stud - 1 or 2
Regulator scale - 2
Balance wheel - usually 14 or 16
Minute wheel cover - 2

This is the movement - when I take it apart for cleaning I will count them - looks like 60+
