Hi everyone;

 

I am Jacksonville Fl. USA and I have been bit by the bug to start watch repair as a hobby. I am slowly buy repair tools and have yet to actually buy my first repair watch. I been ordering tweezer, screw drivers, a starter ultrasonic cleaning machine, and other tools.

My plan is to try get as many mid range beginners tools I can afford so that once I get a pocket watch to disassemble I will have most of what I need.

 

I look forward to reading about and learning this great hobby

Thanks for the intro @WatchNob welcome to the WRT forum! I'm also relatively new and I'm in the middle of my first service of an Elgin Grade 313 movement which has been stalled for a while as I was waiting for oil and a mainspring winder. Well, my oil arrived today and luckily I picked up an identical 2nd movement so as I disassemble that one it will help me remember how to re-assemble the first one! I've posted some shots of my watches here.

Let us know when you get that first practice movement!
