I am finding your videos very helpful. I love your no nonsense approach and the way you explain things in a simple but informative way. It’s great how you give advice on how to slowly and cost effectively get into the watchmaking craft or hobby.

I've found that investing in an India and Arkansas stone means that if I can dress the tips of my screwdrivers to not have imperfections and use the right size tool for the job, buying a set of $60 or $70 higher quality Chinese screwdrivers can cut it for the screwdrivers. Now, I have been paying attention to which screwdrivers I use the most, and I've bought a few one-off Bergeon screwdrivers as my current base is just fine, and I can easily tell the Bergeon screwdrivers from the rest, and I only have 3 of them with a few extra tips.

I have a cheap watch, but I love it & the screw that holds the band in on one side came out (No idea where) but I looked online & have no idea what I need. I am looking at a kit on Amazon that has a bunch of screws & 1 or 2 drivers. Hoping that will work but I'm lost. Great video.

Today i started with my first watch (Baumgartner 582). Unfortunately the crown wheel screw was broken (not because of me), so i have to search an other movement. :-(

Hey i super appreciate the video, i'm gonna go with bergeon for the 4 starters but given that i'm gonna be starting on 7s26's for my first project how necessary is that special seiko screwdriver? I've seen some posts saying you HAVE to have it, and i've seen others saying just get a cheap micro philips head kit and it will do the job. The thing costs more than the frickin bergeon drivers.

Thank you for the video. I have an issue with my screwdrivers becoming magnetic, which is very frustrating with small screws. Do higher end drivers resist this?

@@welwynwatches5976 Thank you and for type is Bergeon or Horotech the only way to go? Or any cheaper ones you recommend? Thanks

@welwynwatches5976 Жыл бұрын

@@tacomn Bergeon & Horotec are both good choices and will last a long time but cheaper drivers are fine, the blade is more important so id suggest a hardened steel type of blade.
