After ruining one too many watches with my shaky ass hands, I’m getting rid of my watch tools. Now, maybe I won’t have the temptation to bust open any watch cases. Man, I really don’t have much self control. Anyway, my lack of horological experience is your win. I’m starting by getting rid of some great screwdrivers. You can find ‘em on the bay.
Even if you’re a casual reader, you’ll realize that I’m slowly turning into an old man. I try to keep this blog fresh and modern, but sometimes I have to let the old man inside of me show.
So if you don’t mind, I’ll nerd out on you for a second. I’ve rounded up a few screwdriver sets that I’m sure you’ll want to get after you see them. These sets are specifically made for all of your watch repairing needs. They have rotating heads that allow you to properly remove the barely noticeable screws inside that watch movement of yours. So tell your girlfriend or wife that she’s not allowed to use them. As a matter of fact, you better just hide them. You should hide the receipt too because these things aren’t cheap. I know you’re about to order a set so I thought I’d also mention that you’d better order a sharpener for those fancy drivers. Here’s one from Bergeon that should do the trick. Don’t forget to buy the stone too.
Because I’m 26 and not 62 yet, I decided on the more affordable 9-piece French made A*F set.
