Deca5 Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 Can anyone recommend a basic watch adjustment/repair kit? I'm looking for something that will allow me to resize bracelets on Rolex, Omega and Breitling reps. I would also like to be able to remove the case backs to check out the movements. Eventually I'll start practicing on modding my $50 genuine seiko before I get the skill and experience to start modding my reps. Is there a kit that contains everything I'll need (I think I'll need a separate Rolex case back tool - what about for the Omega and Breitling case backs?)

plaifender Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 Contact Offshore. his webshop: http://watchbitz.com.au/shop/index.php?_a=viewProd&productId=259 Best starter tool kit available. Might want to also get a HORB caseback remover ball as well. (available on ebay) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tabularasa415 Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 There are several dealers here who offer them, but I kind of pieced my "essentials" toolkit together from ebay stores. I think you need a link remover, a spring bar tool and a set of screw drivers. At least, those items make for a good start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jkay Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 Offshore (Watchbitz) scoured his suppliers in China for the best tools available for the best prices. He even has 1 supplier take apart all the screwdrivers and replace the cheap Chinese soft steel tips with real Swiss hardened steel tips.
