Hello

Hello all,

Greeting from Groningen, a lovely city in the Netherlands. I've finally had the time to start this hobby of restoring vintage watches, something that I've had my eye on for quite a while. 
I already restore vintage shoes and leather accessories, and being a passionate swing dancer further strengthened my affinity with the aesthetics of the 30s, 40s and 50's. I enjoy bringing old, discarded items back to life, the tiny heart beat of a mechanical watch is a thing of beauty! I'm blessed with short sightedness; I can't read a number plate 40 yards away, but I can remove a balance stud screw without a loupe!

Welcome!  I am somewhat new myself. The knowledgeable members here are very friendly and helpful.

I too have an affinity for vintage style.  I have a small collection of pocket watches, which I have restored to working order and wear with my suits.  I repair watches partly as a hobby, but also to earn a little extra spending money.  It keeps me busy.

Enjoy our forum!
