I recently passed a landmark (?) birthday. Amongst the expressions of Congratulation, and a really nice prezzie or two, some friends gave me a couple of things. The first is a rather nice and eye-candy stuffed book :-


However, and this is where the danger lies, I also was given this:-



Described as a watch repair toolkit, it has all sorts of interesting bits and bobs, but given that I am to DIY what Godzilla is to Tokyo, it is probably best it remains safely untried. Still, it's tempting......😲

I like your attitude - however I fear it would be a triumph of hope over experience. Maybe you could you send me one of your watches to practice on?

Try to remove your cat's gallbladder first. If you are successful, you can reasonably attempt to service some vintage watches with a modicum of confidence. 🙄

Great gifts. You should also get some duct tape and super glue

... and this all comes in a convenient zipped leather pouch so you'll be able to take your kit with you on vacations for those essential watch repairs.

Now you will not have any excuses for scratching casebacks when opening them! Enjoy the gifts and happy birthday! 😜

Stick it on the sales forum quick.
Or your life will be way more expensive going forward with straps, clasps and all other modifications you can do yourself with your kit 😀

These kits all lack a pair of scissors. I can never understand why.
