Default Question about watchmakers lathe uses

I don't think I could duplicate it (ladies watch) with the Boley, not
that good of a machinist yet, but, is it just the size of the cutter
that makes the level of detail finer with a smaller lathe. Couldn't I
fabricate a tool post holder that would hold the same cutters that the
Boley would hold? Or, it it that 1 turn of a dial on the Boley is
0.00001 where my smallest "click" is 0.001?
