Watch Lover turned watch repairer (attempting at least)

[dibs1]

Started this hobby about a year ago trying to replace and spruce up one of my fathers watches. I found Mark's and a few other's videos and here i spending $100s on a screwdriver and some tweezers, oh how the wind sweeps you. But i love this hobby and what the challenges it brings and the always uncomfortable feeling of trying something new! pleasure to meet everyone and hope to speak soon.

Hey dibs1, nice to have you.

I'm not sure what I started but I've been at it for about 3 months now. I suspect I'll have some success eventually...

Good tools will make the 'doing' much easier.

Welcome dibs1..............I can totally relate when you talk about the challenges it brings and the always uncomfortable feeling of trying something new!

But it does give you a real sense of achievement when you breathe life back into someones broken family keepsake.
