Hello - keen novice from Cheshire

[Stubbuteo]

Hi Everyone,

My name is David and I live in Cheshire in the UK.

Over the years I have I have accumulated a number of watches, some have sentimental values, others I have kept just because I liked them. 

I recently purchased a Seiko Presage Automatic and became interested in the the workings of watches in general after researching how to look after it. Apart from destroying an old travel alarm clock, I really haven’t ventured into anything more complicated than changing batteries and removing winders.

Regards

David

Hi david, Welcome.

On the avg newbies got higher destruction record than just one, but it is OK, you shouldn,t let that bother you.

Looking forward to making friends with you so I can learn some horology.

Most destroy the first watch they touch, the rest won't admit it.

Welcome, as everyone has said above don't start on a watch you want to keep, buy some cheap old watches to learn on, but skip Timex watches, as they are not suited to learn on.

Have fun.
