Watch repair

[Mike T]

Is anyone here familiar with watch repairing?
Removing links, changing batteries, etc. I bought a 29pc kit, but I don't know how to use the tools. I tried doing some Google searches, but I'm not coming up with much. I just thought I would ask here.
Thanks.

I've done a little before (used to manage a pawn shop), just the kinds of things you mention, not real "repair" work. Just batteries, bands, etc.

What kind of info do you need?

[Mike T]

How to use the tools. Any place online were I can see diagrams or something?

[makdaddy626]

Not that I know of. The only tools I can remember using were a small knife, a set of small screwdrivers, and a tool for removing screw on backs - it looked like a rectange with two hooks sticking out of one side and a screw type adjustment for changing the distance between them.

Oh yeah, a little tool that looked like a straight edged screwdriver with a notch in ti for inserting and removing pins.

I figured I have like eight watches, why not learn myself how to adjust the links and change batteries. Just another fun little hobby.
