Rotate Watch Kits

A lot of fun, requires some patience. Magnifying glass may help.

Since I build miniature models, I thought I would try this. It is on a quite different level and process. The instructions are great and lead you well into disassembly. So far - no problems. I look forward to completing the entire process. I can tell there is a lot to learn about movements and how all this functions as a whole.
All-in-all, a very interesting and nice little project!

Excellent & challenging movement kit to work on. The small movement holder and supplied tools have been added to my tool kit. Other than needing to sharpen the tweezers just a tad to grasp the smallest of parts, everything is working very nicely!

The instructions were written with lots of useful tips. The tools were perfect for the task. The movement, case, hands, and band were high quality. As for the finished product, I have received numerous complaints on my new watch. More importantly, I have a lot of pride from what I accomplished and I love wearing the watch. The watch keeps very accurate time. Already thinking about which kit I will tackle next. Thank you for a great product. Bob

I think the title says it all. I would almost definitely return to Rotate in future to buy an ST3600 because I know I'm getting the genuine item in a timely manner and it will work.

I had a lovely experience with the team of ROTATE watch kits. My father was absolutely delighted and plans to purchase from ROTATE again. The watch kit was well packaged with all pieces. My Father had a medium difficulty kit and was able to sit down with it and put the watch together with relative ease. I would choose ROTATE watch kits over other watch building companies for the respectable team and quality of watches and options available.

Very happy with watch kit and customer service. They went above and beyond for me
Thank you

Galileo - Watchmaking Kit

I wanted to repair a pocket watch, but I was completely unfamiliar with the process so I purchased a Rotate watch kit as a starting point. A couple of weeks later I had dissembled and reassembled the watch, learning to troubleshoot along the way, and had an unbelievably satisfying feeling when I dropped the balance into place and the movement started to tick, even before the balance cock was secured.

Since then I have dissassembed, troubleshot, and reassembled two 1899 model Waltham pocket watches and an Omega pocket watch.

The kit prepared me for watch repair way way beyond my expectations.

A note on customer service: turning first screw to remove that first piece of a watch can be daunting. In this case, removing the balance within its fragile hairspring. When I did it, I managed to murder the hairspring in the process. I photographed the mayhem and sent it to the Rotate folks. They immediately emailed back, sympathized with the event and sent me a new balance assembly. So they really have your back. I just wish they carried parts for 100+ year old pocket watches....

The leather watch band that I ordered was in perfect condition, felt great on my wrist, looked good, and got here in a reasonable about of time

Watch came brand new, great quality and shipping was very quick.
