Hi Monty and welcome to the WRT forum.

Standard advice is to start with cheap pocket watches.

 Learn names of the parts, ask questions, plenty of your new friends here to work with you fix your watch.  Buying two pieces of the same calib saves

$ & £.

These are the 2 i managed to buy from our Trade Me site (auction site in NZ, we have no ebay)

I will make into one hopefully.

Let the learning and tool buying begin!

 Those are collectible sought after pieces and fetch pretty good ££, when fixed.

How about two cheap Seiko 5s.

Some folks start with cheap tools.

Watchmakers screwdriver set   n   No4 tweezers, and lighter fluid for cleaning.
