Hey Mark

Yeah! Me too. A Certina movement as a matter of fact. I haven't started working on it yet. I got sidetracked by an UT 6498 equivalent to the ETA 6498-1 which is another option for that tool kit...and of course by about 15 other movements I had laying around the house and/or from ebay! I couldn't make that brand new movement my first victime at the time.

 

In any case, once you case it you'll love it! You'll see!

I did all 3 levels at the same time...I can say I'm still going back on and off. The trick is to do the whole watch as it "should". By having all three levels you end up servicing and regulating the first and second movement they tell you to work on. In the end, the watch you make is completely ready for normal wear.

 

If you only do level one, the movement is not fully serviced. Normally you will either loose something or break something that has to be replaced (make it an AND sentence for wost case scenario). When you finally assemble the movement and "build" your watch, that movement is not properly clean and lubricated for everyday use. The wear and tear on the parts are excesive and to correct that you need at least level 2.

 

After learning how to clean and lubricate (lv 2) then you adjust the watch in Level 3. Then your watch should be a dependable and accurate timepiece!

 

So in a nutshell, that's the complete class experience!
