[QUOTE="ttown, post: 3802517, member: 2114"] There’s many tools you can’t get anymore as well as tools you’ll never need like a mainspring winder. Many advanced collectors will help you out or point to items on eBay they sell. A good staking set is a must, cleaning machine, timer etc. I use dental tools putting the plates together. buy a cheap watch and practice. I don’t work on other peoples watches as a screwdriver slip causes a issue with a customer watch. Mainspring an timing are an art and tedious. A COA not that big of a deal if your watch is close to timing. Mainsprings and crystals are hard to find, most 16 and 18 size paw all use a few crystals. my 02 best of luck[ATTACH]281355[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
