Hello,
I would like to buy some tools to start modding and maybe try to service my first movement (and certainly screw it!!!).
I looked around and found some lists and here is what I am supposed to buy:
Movement holder such as the Bergeon No 4040,
dust blower,
screwdriver set with nine sizes (0.5 to 2.6 mm),
#2 tweezers,
#5 tweezers,
4X and 10x loupe, or Optivisor
one headband
covered compartment parts trays,
2mm pegwood bundle,
Pithwood buttons,
Rodico cleaning putty,
Movement cover, and movement tray
Box of watch paper.
Pin Vise,
Caseback Wrench,
Case vise,
Hand setting tool,
Hand remover (Presto #6 recommended or #6 and #1),
Stem Cutting Pliers.
glass press (to send my glass to 2AR), Could you recommend me a press that will be ok for a SMP glass but also for large one like a Pam 177H or a UPO?
Could you tell me from your experience if some things are not essential, some are missing?
thanks in advance
