Is there a glossary somewhere here?

I mentioned that in my first post. And to think new members are supposed to be welcomed by this.

Lets not get snippy. Did I not give you some info to get you started. Search is your friend. And spend some time just reading the threads here. Look at the wrist check threads. Look at watch retailer sites to get an idea of what you like. Look at the watches at Trusty's site. Invest some of your own time. Then come back and ask questions.

That's just it, brother. If you don't know what to look for, then use google.com or wikipedia.com.

There is no real appendix of terms used for general watchmaking, watch models, or watchsmithing on repgeek, other than what jjenk has provided you.

What you need to do is google the term "watch parts", "watch innerworkings", "watch smithing", or something like that so that you can see all the different parts that go into all kinds of watches.

Believe me, though. You won't "pick up" all the knowledge about watches and different models by reading an appendix. You have to just read all the things you can gather about watches, and over time, you'll learn.
