A newbie who want to learn

Hello to you all and wish you healt to enjoy your watches

I would like to introduce my self, my name is Roberto from Caracas Venezuela and in my early sixtyes I decided to spent some time around watches
Since I can remember I have been always atracted to this great machines and know I want to explore the rabbit hole of watch making
I started watching videos on and reading "A practical course in horology" by Harold C Kelly not to be limited to audiovisuals
A couple of days after seeing a video of a vintage Omega pocket watch when the guys said that pocket watches makes a good start since they have a bigger and simple movement I saw on sale the same watch on the video for just $30 and I said to me this is a sing and bougth it to use as my very first project and intriduction to this world
I shold said that a friend of mine who own a small watch shop offers me to trade a few vintage tools that includes a washing machine, set of Bergeon screw drivers set, crystal remover, back oppeners, movement holders, magnification lenses, twizer, oilers and oil keepers among other things, most of them need some TLC but I guess is part of the hobbie
I do not see this activity as a comercial potential just for fun and looking to preserve old things in this dispossable era
I attached some pictures of the watch for your considerations, as I said my plan is have fun with this hobbie and hope my first post goes right

Wellcome.
I think yours is an excellent approach to this beautiful world of watchmaking.
If that watch is complete in every part, with good manual skills, with the help of a good book and the advice of a watchmaker, you can really enjoy bringing old watches back to life.
Good luck!

You are on the right track mate. My only advice is to not force anything. Listen to the experienced watchmakers on here and have fun with it.
