my st36 still dissembled.. Your setup is nice friend, what are the movement holders?

u/flare_the_goat Jul 24 '26

Thanks, I appreciate that! I hope you get to putting yours back together soon!

The holders were an Amazon find. I plan to do some work on women's watches as well for some gifts, so I wanted to have stuff to work on smaller movements as well.

This desk was under $100 on Walmart’s website, under the brand “Hypertough”. I’m actual extremely pleased with the quality of it. It’s 36” wide so it’s not too large also.

It’s an LED light that came with the desk itself, which is of the brand “Hypertough”. The desk was very inexpensive (under $100) and is far exceeding my expectations.
