Hello,

 

I am new here, so want to say hi to all of you.

Starting a 3 year watch repair corse in September, so I will be here more than once to find some solutions... ;-)

I am also a watch collector. ;-)

Greetings,

Koen

Welcome, where are you studying your course?

I just graduated for my 3 year (and a couple of extra months) watch and clock course last month.

Thanks guys,

 

I am from Belgium, so it's a evening school, 3 years every week one evening.

Starting with pocket-watches, then Quartz and manual winding and last year automatic and chrono's.

Looking forward for it.

Welcome, similar to what I did, but being my course covered clocks too, it didn't go into mechanical Chronographs, only quartz Chronographs. You will enjoy it and start saving for all those tools you will need for your final year.

Very nice! What model of bench is this?

Hello,

It’s made by a Dutch guy for a reasonable price.

      You could try a soft-solder repair on that

      Another 6105 back in action!

      By tIB · Posted

      So I recently picked up a slim 6105 which had a badly damaged dial (posted in another thread). I couldn't really live with that given I had another dial handy, also in not great condition but with added bonus of having a better lume job and actually being fully attached to the dial plate!  So what to do with that damaged dial - I tend to think they should be in watches. Well...  A 6105 mid case and crystal assembly punt arrived from Italy yesterday, which I've frankened back into a working piece with the dial... Damaged dial now sits behind damaged crystal in an original case, currently powered by 6106 (with a 6106 caseback on to reflect this... I've cleaned up the original crystal up to a point, but kept it fairly beaten to distract me from the dial, my markers and it's not very satisfying lume job - it's not awful but it's glossy which I don't like. Also has a 6139 bezel on it for now because that's all I could find - I couldn't live with it naked and don't mind it tbh, though will keep an eye out as ever.  So yes, here you go - another 6105 (almost!) back to life. I'll also keep my eye out for the correct movement and perhaps a better dial in time. Caseback might prove tricky/expensive. I know Frankens aren't to everyone's taste but I do enjoy getting these back into working form. Better a working/worn watch than a sat in parts draws imo. And the good news here is that, thanks to the repro service crown, this is the only one I have I could actually feel safe to swim in!
