Hello from an aspiring watch repairer!

[Keikochama]

Hello everyone! I'm a young woman from Washington who has had a long time interest in clockwork and watches. I've always wanted to repair - or even make - watches! I don't really know all that much about different brands or internal mechanisms, so I'm hoping I can learn much more from browsing here and checking out the youtube channel! I hope to one day take the repair courses as well, when I have the funds to do so! 

I'll be lurking randomly, but I promise I won't be (too) bothersome with random questions! 

Fun fact: Right now my most favorite pocket watch is a pretty cheap battery powered crown(?) watch from Japan, with really pretty designs from a book series I like! My most favorite wrist watch is a casio ltp-1191 that my mom bought me! They aren't very expensive or high quality, but I still like them

There is no such thing as a daft question, feel free to ask anything.
