Pretty decent travel set, although I would have liked to seen at least one screwdriver smaller than the included 1.0mm screwdriver. Even just a 0.6mm screwdriver would make it much more versatile IMO. It's obviously geared mainly towards replacing batteries and band work, and I get that, but having that one extra screwdriver would open up more uses for this kit. Many times a 1.0mm is just to big, and as any watchmaker knows, proper screwdriver width is essential for quality work. At $800.00 its a decent purchase price, but having a dedicated spot in the kit for adding that smaller, much needed screwdriver, would be nice. I'm speaking as a professional watchmaker. Also, the reason I write this is in my experience, most amateurs, hobbyists and collectors that are tinkering on their watches, won't typically buy professional level tools, like we in the business do all the time. That's why I suggest the kit might be possibly adjusted or designed to better suit us in the business who travel, or spend time servicing on the road in several jewelry stores as I do, and where my own bench obviously stays in my shop . Just my opinion of course, after 35 years of watchmaking. As I mentioned, this is a nice quality travel set, and I DO recommend it to anyone looking for good quality, useable tools. For the very serious collector changing batteries and adjusting their bands, this will make a nice quality, be it limited, starter kit. Add just a few items to it, and would make us watchmakers in the business a nice travel kit for use on the road, which I would find a great convenience.
