Welcome Richard!

You probably ought to become comfortable on something other than your own collection of watches. After 6 months, I'm still not qualified to touch any of my "real" watches. There are a number of very knowledgeable and helpful folks who post here.

A couple of videos that might prove to be helpful:

• Buying Practice Movements
• Sourcing Parts

...he also has a good sequence of videos for folks new to watch repair.

Then there are Mark's on-line, self-paced courses: https://www.watchfix.com/

This is also a very informative web site with helpful animations that gets a little deeper into it all.

Enjoy!
