Here's my list of tools. I and not any sort of expert and by no means claim it's the best, but I've been able to do mods successfully with it!

• basic tool kit https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PVN1DC0?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
  • I got rid of most of the stuff from this and use the case for the things I actually use!
  • Crystal press https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DN8QHSD?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
  • Hand presser tools https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07PVPJ44Y?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
  • Loupe goggles https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07PT8FRBS?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
  • Rodico
  • Watch grease
  • TOOTHPICKS
  • rubber or vinyl gloves
  • Bergeon dial protectors
  • Movement holder from Crystaltimes https://crystaltimes.net/movement-holder

I think that's most of it...

If I had to do it over again I think I would buy this kit

It has basically all the useful stuff short of a cheap amazon crystal press!
