Watch toolkit
As with most hobbies, over time you start building a collection of tools that supports your passion. In this case I would like to share the state of my “watch toolkit”.
For the time being it all fits in a neat and practical case and consists of: - A generic watch toolkit from Amazon (with a few extra tools added) - A timegrapher - A de-magnetizer - A set of precision screwdrivers - A UV flashlight

What basics should we all have?

Got enough straps mate? 😅
I do need some straps actually

I usually buy the affordable sets and then upgrade the components that I use often or when something breakes. Sprinbar tools should always be in a decent quality - they can make a lot of trouble if damage.
As with most things in life, you get what you pay for. I think you get a lot for your money with the cheap sets on Amazon, just adjust your expectations accordingly.
I don’t see a hand setting to? Even a rodico?…
My mess…and my crystal press is not even in the photo…

Good suggestions! I haven't progressed to dismantling a watch yet, but it is on the list👍
