Good morning all,

As many on here, I am joining the community in the hopes of improving my watch repair/service skills.

I've jumped straight in a year or so ago, taking apart an Oris diver, on the basis of "what could possibly go wrong?". Armed with the ETA technical data and some basic tools, I set about it. I have to say, it was an eye opener, but I did manage to get it back together and working, but what a learning curve!

So far, I'm self taught and learning is slow due to my ability to give this hobby the time it requires, but I'm getting there slowly. I have taken a recent liking to some Russian watches and currently have a few vintage Vostoks to service and refurbish, so these will provide some practice on less expensive timepieces.

I will not yet be able to offer much in the form of contributions and will most likely be asking rather more questions that giving answers, but hope that I will be able to once my experience and skills develop.
