Yes, absolutely right. I was not into watches when I purchasing it maybe ten year ago and I had no idea even what a tachymeter is. 😂 

But the green and brown leather combo was the reason behind choosing this one, and I still love it today.

Congrats on your decision! My only suggestion is, never think that you got one toolkit and that's all. It is a slowly evolving process and highly dependent on experience. What you need will be clearer as you continue. Never buy any tool without needing it, and when you need it you will know what kind of equipment will be best for you. 

Grab any beginner toolkit and start working on old or broken watches. Never try something first time on a watch which is valuable for you. 

You can always ask whenever you need any help. 👍

Welcome Jules. Proto looks great by the way, what is the movement?

A friend of mine got this watch from some of the sellers at Aliexpress. Watch stopped working in a few days. He is also a watch lover, so he tried to bring back it to life but it didn't work. He wanted a refund, and seller offered to ship the watch back to the China and they will send a new one. In process, he had lost communication. They never answer him anymore. So they literally robbed him. 

If you are not really into the Chinese movements and heritage, stay away from them.

In some of the Citizen Promaster series, bracelet has a push-button for quick adjustment. Google "quick adjustment bracelet clasps" for more examples.
