Need opinions in Swiss Army Watch Knife
I'm in the process of mustering up the courage to attempt to do a few minor things to my 16610, adjusting band, possibly changing band, removing band for cleaning, etc. I'm also contemplating taking the TimeZone watch repair course. I realize if I do that I will need to invest in a starter set of watchmaking tools and I'm prepared to do that if I decide to take the course. In the meantime what are your opinions of the Swiss Army Watchmakers Knife?
http://www.ofrei.com/page412.html Is it worth the investment or is it sort of along the lines of one of those multipurpose tools that's okay in a pinch but not really optimum for working on stuff. Seems like a pretty cool Swiss Army Knife at any rate. Thanks for your sage advise! Ken ![]() |
