Hi

Just signed up and thought I'd say hello. Don't quite know how it has happened but I think I have the bug. I find I am spending lots of my time tinkering with watches, reading about people tinkering with watches, and then watching people like Mark who actually know what they are doing. I find it fascinating and have lots to learn. But, I have quite a bit of free time now as I was lucky enough to be able to retire quite early from my job as an hgv mechanic. I do miss the spanners (a bit)  though and need something to pull apart and put back together. As I don't have the space to park an articulated tractor unit on the drive,  somehow I became interested in the workings of watches and bought one or two to experiment with. And now I seem to be hooked and am rapidly running out of space as parcels containing one thing or another keep dropping throught the letterbox fairly frequently. The postie is now a family friend. Anyway I will be lurking around here now trying to absorb some of the wisdom and knowledge and am sure to have one or two questions some time or other.

Many thanks in advance

Dave

Hello Dave,

                    Your just the man to help me shift the oxygen sensors on my old Jaguar,  if you feel the need to do a bit of spannering!

 

You will find watches to be a fascinating interest which as mentioned can be come addictive,  so be warned.  Practice,  practice and a bit more practice together with reading comments on here and watching Mark's video's,  will start you on the journey.
