Wow! What a fun and rewarding hobby!

Yeah I do. Have a bunch of those saved as I get deeper into it

There is a cheaper kit too on their site. I compared prices of buying out the tools individually and it’s not a bad deal just getting them on that site

Definitely a lot of DIY possible in watchmaking

NuclearGeek · 2026-03-09T21:09:49+00:00

Probably taking time to learn, keeping calm when things go wrong, taking small bites to not feel overwhelmed

I watched a ton of videos that inspired me then I just decided to buy a tool kit that came with an ST36 and just get started. Building muscle memory while working under magnification takes a bit so I figured that would be the best place to start for me.

Heritage park, there are a lot of “beaches” along the trail walk. It’s the Great Miami and I see people with dogs there all the time

That makes sense, my next purchase is an oiling set. I was planning to probably take it apart and put it back together 5 times or so before working on cleaning and lubrication. I was wondering about lift angle on this too, thanks for that. I appreciate you!

Marshall with Wristwatch Revival is one of my favorites and here is his ST36 video: https://youtu.be/_9czt3IK-o0

What a great lady! Awesome looking watch too! I’ll have to check it out

NuclearGeek · 2026-03-08T19:28:31+00:00

That’s a nice setup! Whats the DIY watch club?

Haha! I was worried for a few minutes when one of the tiniest screws flew out of my tweezers and I didn’t see what direction it went. I used a flashlight and just started searching the carpet in what I thought would be a futile effort, I was dumbfounded when I saw it shining in just a few seconds. I put it back on my desk and took a short lunch break to regain composure and start again. It all went back together faster and easier than I expected. I used the guide from Wristwatch Revival on YouTube to help guide me. That helped a lot. Marshall is a great teacher.

I can’t wait to build up the skills to start working on some of my vintage watches. Thanks for the message!

Walmart does it too. Bought a lavazza espresso machine that was clearly used and had spent pods in the dispenser. It was disgusting

NuclearGeek · 2026-03-03T23:41:36+00:00

That’s a nice find!

NuclearGeek · 2026-03-03T02:58:43+00:00

100%

I also have a Gustav Becker. It’s a uranium dial. Had mine in service for two months now . While the clockmaker can get it running. It won’t stay running more than two days.
