New fella from Cape Town

I may have done this introduction thing on here before, about a year ago - I can't remember. Anyway, howzit to everyone.

I'm a marine engineer and diesel mechanic and I've been accumulating watch and clock tools and knowledge for about a year or so, maybe a bit longer.
I was lucky to buy a whole lot of tools and spares from a deceased estate, then built a parts cleaning machine, prepared a decent worktable and workshop space etc etc.

I've just completed my first watch job - strip, clean, lube and reassemble an old Roamer Popular from the 1960's. It has an MST400 movement, runs ok (-2s/d and 0,3ms dial up) but has some positional error.

I've done a few clocks...recently finished a Buren that needed a  repivot and rebush which I shopped out.

So...that's me.
