I would suggest
Buy:
Bergeron 2.5 loupe 4x mag and head ring
Medium brass tweezers
Screwdrivers 1.6, 1.4, 1.2, 1.0, 0.8
Rodico stick
Seagull ST3620 movement
Start there and see how you go. 😄
You’ll be able to get everything to bits but for the cannon pinion. Don’t take the spring out of the barrel either.
Try and get the balance cock, pallet and going train out and back as a first step.

I would agree they can be a good starting point, but the Seagull is SO cheap and it works really well, so one has a known goal to rebuild it in good working order. It is also used as the base (or Unitas 649x) by a couple of the online courses so if LX wan...
I suggest LEARN WATCHMAKING dot COM as a practical first step
Since your request is a serious one, I will give a serious answer -- avoid manufacture evening clinics which just teach you how ill-coordinated you are. At LEARN WATCHMAKING you can learn about technique on new and vintage watches, via videos at your comp...
TimeZone use to offer an online course...
The sample lesion is still available online, not sure if the entire course is still active. If you look through the first sample lesson you get some of the basics and who knows, maybe the whole course is still active. The "instructor" was Walt Odets ; ) h...
