Hello starting out!

[kwoktock]

Hello! I've always enjoyed watches and started modding the ol Seiko SKX watches about a year ago. Since then I've started collecting some rudimentary tools and watching a lot of material on YouTube regarding servicing. I think I'm a ways out from servicing a movement but invested in learning how. My latest adventure was picking up an old Elgin pocket watch from eBay and I've disassembled it and reassembled it like 5 times to get used to it (no cleaning, no lubrication, yet I'm afraid). I ordered a $25 Seiko from India with plans on doing the same as I did with the pocket watch, while reading up and learning about lubrication. My end goal at the moment is to be able to service my own watches (and friends), which I know the cost of materials, oils, etc isn't proportional to--but am ok with that since I enjoy it as a hobby. Looking forward to learning more.

Hello and welcome to the forum.

Sounds like you'll be cleaning and lubricating before you know it.
