Fun experience with the right level of challenge
I had no experience with watch making or repair. I had a lot of fun putting together my watch and it looks great. The videos walked me through every step and there were also great troubleshooting videos (which I didn't end up needing but still watched). The whole process only took about two hours, and as the instructions warned about, installing the second hand was indeed the trickiest part. I felt like this was the right level of challenge for a beginner and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
