Where do you lot get your watch tools from and any recommendations, warnings etc ?
Watching with interest. I really should pick up some tools.
What work do you want to do on your watches?
I picked up a kit from eBay for about a tenner, works fine for removing/adding links, nothing special but has saved me about £50 so far as it was costing me a tenner a go to have links removed, saves me a trip to town also.
Got my bracelet pin remover here: https://www.tickintimeworldofwatchto...pins-683-p.asp
All metal construction.
For spring bar tool - Bergeon 6767F https://www.watchobsession.co.uk/pro...ar-tool-6767-f
For screwed links a Bergeon 1.6mm (i think! but width depends on your watch in question) off eBay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bergeon-6...8AAOSw7FRWapLO
Caseback remover - any of the 3 claw metal ones works well for me: eg: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Watch-Rep...QAAOSw4A5Yvsst
Beyond that... I send mine off to someone less likely to mess it up! ie. Only bracelet and battery work for me.

I expect a cheapy kit off amazon would do for the time being although I expect they're very poor quality.
Is cousins not for trade only?

It is but if you just register, it makes little to no difference. They want to sell stuff to you either way.
Make a note of their returns policy. It states "No Returns" and that means none.
I think the trade only aspect of it is so they are dealing business to business and the consumer rights don’t come into play. Order very carefully!

Purchased a spring bar tool off Amazon.
I did and came up with nothing, obviously used it wrong.
Eternaltools.com is another for me. Cousins and amazon as already mentioned above.
I used H S Walsh recently via their ebay shop. They were the cheapest I found for Bergeon 6767 and delivery time was good too.
I was registered with them before and ordered some omega parts and it was all good. I seem to remember them asking if I was in the trade at some point.
Anyway have just ordered a few bits from them today which were not expensive so not too much to loose if there are any issues.
