Once I settle down I'd love to get into full on servicing vintage watches as well.

Its really relaxing after a couple drinks. My #1 tip is don't cheap out on the basic tools like tweezers, screw drivers, and oils. A lot of things you can find cheap, ie pith wood, finger cots, a little squeeze blower, etc. The tools you use to manipulate the pieces are basically an extension of your hand and makes a worlds difference.

Thanks for the tips! Is it pretty easy to find movement specific service instructions or do you just learn to recognize parts and common build methods?
