Learning Mechanical Watch Repair?,
By David F. Derby "davidderby" (Diego Garcia, B. I. O. T., Chagos Archepelagos, Indian Ocean) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: The Watch Repairer's Manual (Hardcover)
My review is for the 1949 edition of the book. The information is very good for the person just getting started in the repair of mechanical watches. It covers the tools & procedures for watch cleaning & repair in 1949. It has a troubleshooting section which is very informative. Something books of this age did not normally include. It would have rated 5 of 5 if it also covered adjustments. There was nothing on the adjustment posistions or temerature.
The book is a good read for anyone wanting to know more about the repair of mechanical watches. It is recomended for those who have a curiosity about, thinking of starting, journyman or professional watch repair.

a perfect book for the beginning watchmaker,
This review is from: The Watch Repairer's Manual (Hardcover)
This is the best beginner's guide to mechanical watch repair. Some things have changed since it was written, but the basics that are covered in this book have not. Reading this book, though it is technologically dated, will render no false or bad impressions on the reader. There is no other author with both the command of the subject and the ability to teach it effectively as Fried, a legend in the field. Illustrated perfectly, it will make it possible from knowing nothing to knowing a great deal. Highly recommend accompanying this course of study with practical lessons.

This book is great for those interested in taking a pocket watch apart and putting it back together again. I'm new at this and have found this book very helpful in cleaning and repairing a pocket watch.
