Hi Everyone!

Have been into watches for a while but always been to nervous to open up the back. However, servicing and minor repairs always seem to be at least £100's so it got me thinking that why i don't i just learn to do these things myself? I've always been good at fixing cars, bikes and anything mechanical so watch movements should be a breeze.... right? :) 

I'm eagerly awaiting my order of all the basics I've gone for a mix of mid range and premium tools which i'm hoping will get me off to a good start. and I brought a couple of watches off ebay with identical Swiss movements which i'm going to spend a month or so taking apart and putting back together - i'm quite a big guy so I think i need all the practice I can get just manipulating all these tiny parts! Will also be looking to start a course hopefully this year on a specific movement - hopefully an ETA 6497 - very conscious I normally rush into things so i'm trying to take this slow. Looking forwards to getting involved on the forums and learning a new craft!

Hello and welcome!

Learning how to handle small parts is a big part of learning how to work on watches.

So is learning how to find parts after they've flown off into the corner of the room :biggrin:
