Hi kybill2011, welcome to the forum, I wont be able to help much with watch repair as I am concentrating all my efforts on clocks at this time. I understand about the tools and prices and how expensive they can be. If I can suggest, be patient and keep an eye open for used tools in your area, I have come across many in un-obvious places that are 1/4 the price of new. I see Bob has put up some new areas on this site for shop and tooling ideas (thanks Bob what a great idea) alot of guys out there have come up with some money saving practical ideas. I do know by recent experience that some items are worth the extra cash ie tweezers, magnification, pin vises, to name a few and there are other items you can make or get by without, best idea is to keep on askin questions and research. Hopefully we get alot of response to Bobs new sites and we can all benefit. see ya later, William
