    Tools needed for newbie modding

    I have now got a couple of "sacrificial" Seiko 5's to practice modding on. From this forum and others I have arrived at the following list of tools I will need:

    - watch case holder
    - screw back case opening tool
    - screwdrivers
    - glass press and dies
    - tweezers
    - hand remover/fitter

    Now please tell me all the obvious things I have overlooked

    Thanks
    Des

    A good torch and a magnet to help find the tiny bits that WILL ping off onto the floor :twisted:

    Blower brush - the sort of thing used on camera lenses.
    Clear plastic bag - for taking bits apart that are likely to spring off, never to be found again.
    Wet and dry paper.
    Brasso, or other polishing medium.
    Fibre pen.







    and a bloody big hammer and chisel :twisted:
