Hi all 

 

Thanks for having me!! I'm 52 in Florida and just starting my hobby. I'm not a watchmaker or clockmaker just starting to learn!! I'm a general tinkering person and currently interested in pocket watches and clock repair.

Welcome Dave! 

You'll probably want to review some material on the guts of a watch (I know nothing about clocks @oldhippy is our "go to" clock guy).

Here is a good animated web page that describes the internals of a watch.

You'll probably want/need tools as getting to the insides of pocket watches will require smaller screwdrivers than you likely have. Mark has a good list of domestic suppliers here:

He also has several online courses that will give you more than you'll likely find on YouTube.

Ask questions and provide photos and you'll usually get help from somebody here.
