Hello, it all started simply, I wanted to get a caseback for my  husband's Swiss Army watch because I scratched the case trying to replace the battery... down the rabbit hole 6 months later. I'm still at "the replace band, battery, stem , clean and polish" stage but having a blast.  Love watching the deep dive clean and repair videos.  Hope to be there by winter.  I have a question about square gaskets. Do they exist?... or am I looking for a left handed hammer? Thanks for the community.

Thank you. Having fun on the other side of the tracks.

 

Thanks for the kind welcome. My little brother graduated from Standford Law back in the 80's. I'm cleaning up a old Sears and Roebuck Orvin watch for him. Looks like something my stepfather wore back in the 70's. Everyone had one.
