Introducing myself from Queensland Australia
My Dad was self taught in watch repairs but I never quite inherited the know how.
As an engineer & lover of good looking well designed watches I have accumulated many tools & some know how.
I actually prefer watches that will accommodate either a 2 or 3 year battery life, mainly due to their superb time keeping.
I also try to buy water proof watches (ie screw down back & crown).
Unfortunately I have short arms & deep pockets so this interest has not resulted in ownership of any "Great"watches.
Having watched the video "building from Ebay components" I strike an immediate problem - the watches that I'd like to start on all employ really low cost Chinese movement which are not labelled so I don't grasp how or where to start in finding superior movements. Worse the similar movements on Ebay are devoid of size data.
Any suggestions?
