    Recomended book(s) for first time small watch repairs and mods

    Hi friends.
    I'm looking for a nice book(s) regarding information about first timers dissassembling a watch for small
    or modifications.
    I am interested in learning things like changing a dial, changing hands, bezels, etc on watches like Seikos for example.
    Methods, tools required, procedures, etc.
    Any good ones out there you know of?

    Thanks

    TTT. Good question. Anyone have any suggestions? My local library was a bust and I don't want to waste any money on Amazon until I know what to get...
