I was in the hole about 3 years ago, I bought a book, some tools, and a couple of broken movements off of eBay with the thought that I’d just “ dive in and learn how they work “, but I stalled out. Without a set direction I found the space of things that could be wrong with my sample broken movement to be too large. Hell, I didn’t even know if all the components were there.
It’s something I’d like to get into, hopefully with some hand holding. I’m curious what resources you’re using, and if there’s some kind of loose curriculum to ease the beginning efforts.
- desine 5y agoA bunch of youtube, a strong mechanical sense, and the book "watch Repair for Beginners", which was not noted in this comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28116525 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28116525 So I'm likely down the same path as you, eventual "failure", if looking at it as a career choice. But I'm also ~a year behind you, starting a similar path with no handholidng and likely no profit. I watch this guy on youtube, occasionally, and his paid series has been mentioned here and elsewhere, as being worthwhile, but I have not paid for those videos (yet). https://www.watchfix.com/ https://www.watchfix.com/ (formerly known as http://watchrepairlessons.com/ http://watchrepairlessons.com/ )
