Cool thanks I keep looking at the watchmaking kits you can order to “build”. Usually they are a seiko movement. I’ve rebuilt motors and conveyors but I don’t kid myself this this will translate to “building” a watch. It’s still something I would like to try, no interest in being a professional or servicing other people’s watches just want to do it so I have a better understanding of these watches that interest me. I do know someone who started off in such a manner, found they had a knack for it and now does it as a side hustle but that is not my intent. A lot of the mechanical work I did was 30 ft in the air on a lift and I remember how annoying it was if something fell, usually something that was 3/16 or less so the tool sizes on watch making do intimidate me a bit.
