Hi everyone

Hello, I'm Richard from Sheffield.

I've been fascinated with proper watches my whole life, but until recently just from a wearing/looking at/collecting point of view.

But having successfully dabbled with and tinkered and actually repaired!! several movements whilst on furlough, I seem to appear to maybe perhaps have something of an nack??

Anyway, one way or another my interest has definitely been pricked!

But.......I have little or no actual knowledge of this field in general, other than snippets I've picked up on websites about the various types of movements and how they work. So I joined with you people to learn a bit more and.....well specifically ask about a silver 'trench' watch I came by recently that has a knackered cylinder balance. It's probably worth very little and maybe even not the genuine article, but it is a beautiful and attractive little watch and I would like to fix it and wear it.

I'll be posting more about it, but for now thank you for reading and it's good to be among fellow watch lovers.
