Comments

At first I was dubious about this model - would the light be a gimmick, totally unnecessary if you are working under a good light? Then, when I used one, I was most impressed. Yes, your bench light is fine when working on the top of a movement but (when watch repairing) useless the moment you tilt the movement to see underneath a plate.
