This is a DIY book that helps amateurs in cleaning and oiling their watches. It provides a step by step procedure on watch servicing. Attached with it is a dictionary for all those unfamiliar with the different parts of a watch as well. The parts have been named and their location within a watch has been identified as well.Afterward, chapter one talks about the different types of watch repair tools that are required before one decides to do some watch service. The parts have to be bought beforehand and it is advised that a novice should start off on a cheap watch brought for the purpose of watch repairing. Chapter 2 discusses how wrist watch repair is done, the watch is opened up first, and with which tool, each part should be delicately pulled out of the watch. It is a lot like undergoing a major operation; steady hands and focus are key for successful watch repairing. Chapter 3 talks about how the different parts of the watch should be cleaned and how to oil watch. The oil should always be used in small quantities, preferably with an oil dropper that is specifically made for watches. Chapter 4 discusses the reassembly of a watch. The watch should be put together in the opposite way it was opened up, meaning the parts removed last should be put in first. That is how you get a clean watch that you can use for years on end. Wrist watch repair is a very technical job, so it is advised that practice should be done on a cheap useless watch, and not a family heirloom.
