Beginners Watchmaking Tools Purchased by a Complete Noob

[@KillingTimeWithNorman]

I use a plastic sandwich bag laid out over the case back every time I use a case back wrench - to protect from scratches.

Great suggestion!

Maybe get a balance tack as well. If you ever need to adjust the beat error on a movement where it needs to be done by adjusting the collet, you need something that suspends the balance complete in the air. Other than that you should be set for now. A could imagine a staking set be required at some point. BTW, better get comfortable with removing the cannon pinion with tweezers, too. You will find that the shaft on many pinions is too skinny to be grabbable by the Bergeon pinion removal tool.

Thanks for that, really appreciated. Yeah - I had to take the pinion off with tweezers on the last movement I did because it was too loose after reassembly, and I wasn't taking the whole movement apart again to get the Bergeon tool on, so tweezers it was.
