Greetings from fraaerasmus from Idaho.


Recommended Posts

Thanks everyone for allowing me into the group. I'm a retired Physician Assistant recently exploring bookbinding, but now jumping into the middle kids pool after receiving a Rotate Watch Kit at Christmas. After screwing up SOMETHING with the stem, keyless works, the escapement (the possibilities are endless. But I've put together mechanical watches from parts from Esslinger, Otto Frei, etc. I'm trying to get enough nerve to join the 1-3 series of lessons through this group. I'm finishing up #1 Lesson Group with TimeZone but I think the Watch Repair Channel courses look better. Anyway thanks for letting me join, this is just simply the most fabulous craft and art - dang. My goal is to work on cool watches and make Christmas Presents for folks that are part of our family. Cheers!

Thanks for the intro @fraaerasmus1254 welcome to the WRT forum! I'm also relatively new and I'm in the middle of my first service of an Elgin Grade 313 movement which has been stalled for a while as I was waiting for oil and a mainspring winder. Well, my oil arrived today and luckily I picked up an identical 2nd movement so as I disassemble that one it will help me remember how to re-assemble the first one! I've posted some shots of my watches here.
