But at the concrete level there's the day-to-day of learning a trade, scuffling for work, gaining experience, making a living working as an employee or for yourself by servicing watches and interacting with customers as a profession. That's the perspective on offer here. It's a very personal account the author's views and experience after many years at the bench.There's quite a bit of Anthony L's peeves about interacting with customers who have unreasonable or ill-considered expectations and salespeople who, he believes, may not respect the craftsmanship of the person who understands and fully appreciates the watch inside the watch and can maintain it. You'll find lots of quotations and words of wisdom that have inspired him or illustrate a point he's trying to make. But it's a stated goal of the author's to write an enjoyable book: “Take a deep breath and relax. Have a drink. Treat this like a fun read. The watchmaking world is complicated and tense as it is. You won't learn anything if you don't loosen up.” This he has accomplished I think, kind of in the manner of Anthony Bourdain's “Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly” (2000). Anthony L writes of adventures in the horologic underbelly, to paraphrase Bourdain's subtitle, with advice to match, analogous to “if there are seafood frittatas on a Sunday brunch menu stay away because it's likely to be the odd bits left over from Friday's catch.”At the beginning of the book there's a neat little Venn diagram of the set of terms Fast, Cheap, and Good, Tip #5. No surprise, you can't have all three. If you'd like to do a home-based check of your mechanical watch's timekeeping there's Tip #32, a template and instructions to do that. There's technical information only a watchmaker would use but that's interesting to an enthusiast anyway, like the table “Rolex Lubrications and What They're For” on various types of oils. There's actually a fair amount of Rolex information in the book. There's advice on how not to piss off the watchmaker whose help you need. There's a lot of advice on the practicalities of becoming a watchmaker if that's something you want to do, and practical advice for enthusiasts in what I'm starting to think is a domain full of “experts,” braggarts, and blowhards, like Tip #93, Be Careful Who You Take Your Watchmaking Advice From.All in all a useful and enjoyable book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A MUST-BUY book for anyone who loves watches *by D***9 on April 25, 2023* I bought this book to learn more about the profession of watchmaking, but it is so much more than that. If you own or are contemplating purchasing an expensive watch, you need to read this book, because it gives so much REAL information as to why you may or may not want to buy a certain watch, and how much you might end up regretting your purchase, or not getting your watch properly serviced by the RIGHT professional. The book is written in a no-holds-barred approach. Buy this book BEFORE you buy a watch and if you already own a beautiful watch, buy this book to keep your investment worth its value, and to keep you satisfied with your watch. It's an easy read, very entertaining and most importantly, very informative. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Interesting book with a lot of valuable information. However ... *by W***Y on December 11, 2017* Interesting book with a lot of valuable information.However, it is riddled with grammatical and typographical errors. Very distracting to me. I question whether Anthony L. had an editor. I would have expected someone whose job depends upon precision to be much more careful in their work, ## Frequently Bought Together - 100+ No BS Watch Tips: For Watch Enthusiasts & Salespeople - Watch Repairing as a Hobby: An Essential Guide for Non-Professionals - Practical Watch Repairing --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/47335799-100-no-bs-watch-tips-for-watch-enthusiasts-and-salespeople](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/47335799-100-no-bs-watch-tips-for-watch-enthusiasts-and-salespeople) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-10-06*
