Also can be done by any competent watch repair person.

Hi Don,
Yes, I've thought of doing some of that because I am fascinating by watch-making. I think the discipline watchmaking requires aligns closely to my scientist brain. I love doing complex tasks and activities that require an extremely high level of skill and intellectual rigor. This prediliction translates over to my photographic, photographic lighting and print work, as well.
Long story short, I might start out with doing the famous Seiko "Fifty Five Fathoms" mod where you mod a Seiko 5 to resemble a Blancpain Fifty Fathoms, to get my feet wet. Should be fun; I already have some of the tools, I just need a couple more things from Bergeron, specifically the hands removal tools.
