Man I expected watch repair to be the snootiest, most gate-kept hobby one could try to break into. I am blown away by the down-to-earth pragmatism displayed here. You really don't find that often these days. I was interested, now I'm excited! Thank you so much for this material.

For small parts when im taking things apart, i like to use the inexpensive 7 day pill containers like the kind you can get at your local pharmacy. Great to help keep me organized as to order of assembly. put key parts in mon-sun and work in reverse sun-mon. Keeps me organized and most small parts are easily seen and grabbed. cheap and effective for me.

If your checking the comments people. I just have this to say. Watch all the videos it will make you so much better

[MrRoomba]

Just want to say thank you for this tutorial series, the info here has helped me understand the things that I couldn't grasp from reading 3-4 different horology books!

“Parts launching off into the millenium” was great! 😂😂😂

"Now, it really doesn't f*n matter ..." I'm dying :D

Here from your Reddit. Good tips for the beginner there. Especially with screwdrivers you can always buy a cheap set and replace the crappy tips with Bergeon tips. I think Cousins UK sell a set that will do that. Look forward to the next video!

Thanks Alex! A great introductory video. I'm excited, if a little apprehensive to get started. But lots more of your videos to watch first!!

[pacocandano]

You sir, are a true genius of your craft. Thanks so much for the time and effort you put in making these awesome videos!

[vonmikeore]

I'm new, don't know much, but I like your presentation and style, please keep it up. Thanks!

[RobertMattei]

Thank you.! Really appreciate these videos. They are well presented and the short segments make them easy to digest.

Mr. Hamilton - thank you!! Thank you for doing this series!!! How I so wish I'd have gotten into this 20+ years ago. I can't tell you how much I appreciate you passing on your knowledge and wisdom!

The only experience I have with watch repair and cleaning is watching videos like yours. I went thru all the comments and no one asked why you didn't include a caseback opener, so I'm asking.

[mooredarkwater]

I'm glad I found you Bro! I have an interest in watch/movement repair. This auto mechanic is retiring, so I actually want to do this. Just like any mechanic worth his salt I have been stuck on tool types and maintenance of the tools. This is so COOL!!!

[johnhorvath]

Excellent video. The best on you tube.
I wish I would have seen you video years ago.
Thank you.
Very well done

Thank you for this. I have collected skills all my life and I have found that when I start off inexpensively, I can ease into the hobby with a sense of optimistic possibility. When I go the route of advice that "more expensive is better" I feel intimidated and never get past compiling a list of expenses.
I have always wanted to repair watches and understand how they work since I was a small child and took apart a broken watch my aunt was holding onto. (She was not pleased with the pile of parts which was the result of my curiosity.)
Now, you present me with a pathway forward. I can afford the starting tools outlined and will follow your channel for whatever guidance you decide to share for the novices like me. 🙂

[OpenSourcerers]

Someone may have already said this but you can buy cheapo screwdrivers with replaceable blades, then buy Bergeon replacement blades for pretty cheap!

[lyedavide]

Great information for beginners. Thanks for the upload!
