  • Great condition second addition

    This is recommended for beginning students of watch repair as the best resource that explains things in detail but written in plain language. The older version was cited as a better purchase because the pictures and diagrams are clearer, copy of a copy kind of thing and this one is perfect. The second edition was printed in 69 and the drawings make the text easier to understand. Very informative and well written and a great value

  • Great reference book

    The book itself is really good. Does not have images, just drawings, but content is really interesting. For any watch aficionado this is a reference book to better understand how watches work and some maintenance tasks. I like it a lot.
