Transitioning from observer to amateur horologist

[sendmemes]

Hi, I'm Dan from Canada. I am a retired federal law enforcement officer and currently a volunteer firefighter. I have been interested in watch restoration for a while and would like to try my hand at it. I have always enjoyed working on different types of equipment, woodworking, and reviving old hand tools (and making my own tools). I enjoy watching different YouTube channels dedicated to watch restoration and repair and would love to be able to do it myself.

Hey everyone, Kevin here, just got started in watch repair. been watching a lot of videos on it but now have made the plunge and bought tools, oils etc.

Bought A older Tag Heuer that I'm working on now except as I'm working on it i'm starting to think it's not a real Tag.

O-well cheap college that will hopefully help me in the future.

Nice that there is a forum for help.
