Advice on tool kit needed for the Time Zone Watch Course

[maulermacall@hotmail.com]

Hi

Im a newb about to embark with watch tinkery by following the modules on the 1st and 2nd course.

Theres quite a few options for tool kits, as seen here:

I dont wear glasses and I need something good but not overly expensive. Being new, I do like the idea of the ready made kits, with everything needed at my disposal.

Any advice as to which option I should get, or which one you have purchased and the quality of the kits is most welcome.

Thanks

I would stick with the basic kit for level 1 and 2. It gets you what you need to do the course and build up your skills.

Sounds good, hopefully you didn't pay $50 for each level to Ofrei and instead bought the course CD from Offshore (I supplied the TZ course info and the ETA 7750 factory course to Offshore for his CD).

I recieved the kit 1 this morning. I ordered a Presto hand remover and Bergeron hand setter as extra.

I think it worth the price. I took the 6497 version, just the movement, not the pocket watch.. will fit it in a panerai case later.

The most expensive "tool" in the kit are the screwdrivers and I was trying to find a cheaper way to get them, but in the end I'm very pleased. Those screwdrivers are insanely well made.

Choose the movement you want and take the kit.

I also got the course from Offshore and the 7750 cd, which is really well made (thanks The Zigmeister
