Hi, I seem to have been here since 2021 but didn't remember!

I just started my journey in watch... I hesitate to say watch repair, since at this point I'm simply trying not to lose screws. My first project was to disassemble an Elgin 303 movement without losing any parts and I successfully met my goal!

I'm looking forward to learn more about the craft from this group!

Well, since my first post I have worked my way through a lot of watches, dead and alive. I can't say I actually fixed any of them, although I've brought some back to life.

I have found I love working on the tiny ladies cocktail watches. It's amazing to me how anyone thought of the means to engineer and produce such lovely precision timepieces!
