Birthday priority...
I am currently working through level 3 of the watch repair course. I had planned to start my practical training on level 2; stripping down, oiling and rebuilding a Seagull 6497.
However, my daughter Lisa has her birthday coming up on April 10th. And in early March I decided to build a real Swiss watch as a present for her 23rd birthday! Although this is not about watch repair, this activity already proves a nice exercise for me to practice using various tools.
The watch is already 95% finished. Now I am waiting for 2 little case clamps before I can proceed and finish.
Below I show you what I did up to now!
Lisa likes wierd and alternative things like skeletons and other black stuff therefore I have a good idea of what she likes. And I want shopping and got all these parts, including a NOS ETA 6497:
