Hi,
As far as I am aware there are no starter kits but to be honest the quality of the watch starter kits may not be brilliant. Half the fun is getting the tools together and for some, i.e. me, can be quite addictive in itself. Watch Bobs videos and keep a pen and paper handy, he goes through each common repairs and not only shows how to repair the problems but also the different ways and tools that can be used. I love the 50’s alarm clocks, I have a few (ahem 😳 ) myself. Take plenty of pictures as you go so you can see how it goes back together. If you look in the tips and tricks I posted a bit on using cable ties to retain the mainspings. The springs are designed in a way that you cant do them on a spring winder.
Just take your time and make sure you get everything clean. If you run into any problems just let us know.
