Hello from a newbie

[aac58]

Hello friends,

I am a new watchmaker amateur willing to learn and enjoy a lot from you, and hopefully help you if I can. I've been following Mark videos on youtube since some time now, and really enjoy them. So far I just have dissasembled and reassembled an HTM watch I got to play, and incredibly it is running now although I two springs flown away in the proccess (the only two springs the movement has, on the click and on the setting lever)

But next time it's going to be better, I'm sure.

Thank you for your introduction and welcome to this friendly forum.

A good pair of tweezers help a lot. I have always used Dumont tweezers, expensive but the best.

Thank you. You are right, I just bought a pair of Dumont nº 2, that's much better than the ones I used before.

I'm going to change my set of chinese screwdrivers for some Bergeon, not a full set yet, maybe 0,8, 1,2 and 1,6. Do you thing those are the right choice?

Bergeon screwdrivers are again what I have. These numbers should be enough for most watch work.

Ø0.50, 0.60, 0.80, 1.00, 1.20mm. £32.95 in a plastic wallet. Here is the link https://www.cousinsuk.com/category/screwdriver-sets

Any watch tool that is anti magnetic is a plus.

Welcome and enjoy...
