I bought a Seiko automatic that I wore for a while, until it stopped -- I think I got some sand in it.
The watch shop asked for more than the cost of the watch to service it, so I watched a few videos and tried to do it myself.
Make no mistake, those gears are TINY. Insanely so. I had imagined that I'd put them into place carefully, lining up the teeth... But they're so small it's closer to "well I dropped you into place and bumped you a few times and it seems good now".
I got the watch to run, but somehow messed up the date window. Fiddlesticks.
