Howdy, y'all!
I'm a relative newbie to watch repairing, but learning fast. I have done levels one through three of the TimeZone Watch School and have been consuming Mark's videos voraciously. I have a little collection going... several "nice" watches that I mostly don't touch other than simple regulation if needed, plus a growing number of lower-end pieces that I'm willing to sacrifice to my education.
Watches worked on so far...
ETA 2801-2 – disassembly, reassembly (TZ watch school level 1)
ETA 2436-2 – full service (TZ watch school level 2)
Seiko Recraft SNKN37 – full service and adjustment (dynamic poising)
Seiko SRPB41 – adjustment, followed by balance replacement
Vostok Amphibia – full service and adjustment, crystal polish
Next up...
Poljot Sputnik – full service and adjustment as needed
Elgin 1905 18s pocket watch – full service and adjustment as needed
Oris Big Crown Propilot Altimeter – considering adjusting it, as it's poise is off more than I'd like
I'm an electrical engineer (analog/RF IC design) by training and have had various hobbies including windsurfing, paragliding, astrophotography, coffee roasting, general aviation, and now watch repairing.
