Hello

I just joined the forum so thought I would take a minute to introduce myself, I'm Paul from North East Scotland. I took an interest in watches a couple of years ago as a hobby like many people seem to have done at the start of the first covid lockdown, and my interest quickly turned to tinkering with old watch movements seeing if I could bring them back to life. After many hours, suitably assisted by Youtube tutorials and eventually the Watch Repair course, which I completed part 3 of the other day, I've learned a lot, but still have a long way to go yet in this hobby.

Hi @Polco, I also just completed Level 3 but I'll have to do it again to get my certificate as my final score wasn't great. I have about 5 movements here to work on and I suspect I'll go back through the course and do fine.

Welcome to the forum!

      Hello fellow watch enthusiasts!

      Hi Vandan. Hi from a fellow newbie! Marshall has got a lot to answer for hasn't he! 😄. I also got hooked to this hobby after watching his videos.  Good luck with your journey to service your Grandfather's watch.   Nick

      Favre-Lueba vintage rectangluar case/crystal

      By MikeEll · Posted

      Hi all, I have a lovely Favre-Lueba dress watch from late 70s/early 80s in a stainless steel case.  Its an unusual curved rectangular case and crystal.  I'm wondering if there's any possibility I might be able to buy/find a replacement crystal for this watch.  The base of the crystal is also curved to match the case, rather than flat.  I'm looking at the Cousins website page here https://www.cousinsuk.com/product/rectsq-rounded-corners-one-side-curved-bezel-sternkreuz-rzr but not sure if I'm looking for the correct type.  In my case its a rectanglular crystal with rounded corners, and both the upper and lower surfaces of the crystal are curved.   Update - OK I now think I know what I'm looking for, but Cousins don't stock the size I need :-).  I think I need a Sternkruez RZ 315x220R9, acrylic, cylindrically domed with rounded corners.  Any tips or alternate sources for this source of crystal. Many thanks

      Getting more interesting this post, innit? Mikeplilk, Waggy. Impressed with your efforts. Makes mine look amateurish. Hey, that's what I am. Still, I have good results with the 'frog'. Apprentice test piece. Paper is from https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/234602659940?var=534248554534   I am aware that the more I delve into the DIY, the more I am gaining understanding of watchmaking. Well, a little each time. Ross
