SSTEEL 0 Posted October 4, 2013 No. Buy the book, they are not much. Best price I have found for a new hardback, is £30. Money well spent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Odyseus 1 Posted October 4, 2013 I don't think it's worth getting in any case?? It's hardly a step-by-step guide and you'd need loads of specialist tools not readily available?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SSTEEL 0 Posted October 4, 2013 Newly listedWatchmaking by George Daniels (Hardback, 2011) I don't think it's worth getting in any case?? It's hardly a step-by-step guide and you'd need loads of specialist tools not readily available?? Hence my reason for investing in watchmakers tools for months now. Its a book for serious readers interested in learning how my build their own watch from scratch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Odyseus 1 Posted October 4, 2013 I've read it, and by tools we are talking about special lathes and specialist machines. Nothing like the things we use to service watches :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SSTEEL 0 Posted October 5, 2013 Indeed, and exactly why I'm planning on investing in a Cowells lathe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
