odongo 0 Posted January 21, 2019 Always wanted to buy a set like that with watch tools, I bought couple of both ebay and amazon for about 15 USD and some of the tools just broke and scratched my watches. Any pointers where I could get a quality watch tool set ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jp09 1 Posted May 13, 2019 This post is spectacular. I am traveling fast down the rabbit hole and need to acquire a tool kit. Of course an Amazon search yields lots of options. Does anybody want to comment on this kit? Or aim me towards a better option? I hope posting the URL is OK. If no, my apologies. https://www.amazon.com/EZTool-Watch-Repair-Wrench-Tool/dp/B01DU47EEM/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=2CJMJ9YFUY0C5&keywords=watch+repair+kit&qid=1557766306&s=gateway&sprefix=watch+%2Caps%2C190&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1 Thank you in advance for any thoughts.

I wasn't overly impressed with that one.

FudgyDocker 3,497 Posted May 13, 2019 This one looks a bit better quality. It also has a basic loupe, air blower, several different pliers etc https://www.amazon.com/Deluxe-Watch-Repair-Tool-Kit/dp/B078ZD1DQG/ref=pd_srecs_sabr_st_5/134-8344943-5919227?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B078ZD1DQG&pd_rd_r=d297ce36-75c2-11e9-a650-71be33d71435&pd_rd_w=qZjI0&pd_rd_wg=IU0Ba&pf_rd_p=a25d43de-f6f4-41bb-aace-e6f7c0927a67&pf_rd_r=A58N2Y9MF7BTGR6VT992&psc=1&refRID=A58N2Y9MF7BTGR6VT992 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But it's ok for the basic work just add à hand remover and hand puller and you will be abble to replace a basic movement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BackInHisBox 249 Posted April 25, 2020 My only thought is that by opening the case back you’re exposing the movement to all sorts of potential particles in the air. Could it really be so helpful to do this portion of things? Seems to me you’re creating the situation for potentially much greater harm and detriment than it was in when it arrived.

bayarearick 1 Posted June 26, 2022 Newbie question: Would it be appropriately at all to ask your TD to do this initial bit as a part of the QC, maybe for an additonal $$? (I want my new found hobby wearing and not servicing the watches, this is something of value to me.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some will upsell you waterproofing from the factory, debatable whether the factory actually does anything different. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
