Home Watch Repair

Here’s all you may need to start up as a DIY watch repairman or lady.

Ballpeen hammer (may also be used for fixing male genitalia)
Screwdriver
WD-40
Motor oil

Optional

Toilet paper or paper towel

Chances are, an average person fixing to fix a watch, whether that watch be their own personal watch or timepiece, or the watch of a close family member, or even the watch or clock of a friend, neighbor or business associate, already has these four basic tools or things somewhere in the garage.

The hardest part of fixing a watch is getting the back off. Here’s where the ballpeen hammer and screwdriver come in handy.

Eventually, once you get the back off, the next step is to clean all the parts real good. Take all the parts apart that you can. There may be some parts you can’t separate from some other parts. Do the best you can. Remember. You can’t get them all. But that may be OK.

Once you get most of the parts apart or separated, spray them with the WD-40. Try to employ the screwdriver for turning the various parts over so both sides of most of the parts get sprayed.

The WD-40 automatically knocks off or displaces a lot of the human exudate trapped in the watch works or gears.

Next, all you need to do is lubricate the many watch parts with motor oil. After that, and once you perform the reassembly in reverse of what you just did, you and your watch or somebody’s watch are good to go.

Oh! The toilet paper or paper towel may be employed optionally to blot up some of the motor oil should a tiny part or two wind up oilier than you can handle.
