Howdy and Happy Thanksgiving to my neighbours to the south.  I've been asked for some Christmas ideas and I thought Books!!  So I ask you all for suggestions on Watch repair books.  I hope you can help me put together a list to pass on to my family and friends.  What books helped you out or are a great resource of information?

 

Thanks a lot!

When I got interested in watch repair I went to the Purists forum and found this link(below)....I have most all of them and they are useful ...I have recently added couple not listed that serve as a good reference for parts identification and overall knowledge of what each part of a mechanical/automatic watch are called...I will pm them to you Andrew...you can click on each book in the link for a brief scenario

Thank you for the link Oscar, I think I will add at least DeCarle's book to my Christmas wish list along with the TZ courses and tools.

Cheers,
Griff
