Getting A Higher Quality Tools

After my few practice with watches, I realize that better quality tool is a must in watchmaking. Screwdriver, Loupe and Tweezer these are basic tools that we use daily. I was using "high quality" Chinese made screwdriver and loupe ... but it just don't cut it on the smaller scale of screws.

Decide to give Tai Sang Watch Shop in Wisma Selangor at Jalan Sultan, Kuala Lumpur a visit, they are the Bergeon authorized agent here. They do sell other brand like Horotec but not as a set.

Longines Cal 12.68z

Got this scrapper from the flea market with damage escape wheel, this my first watch repair project. Ordered one escape wheel from ebay and after a very long wait got it, and the watch is done and ticking fine.
I disassemble the watch to learn its mechanism and as a general practice on watch making.
