My name is Andy. I live with my wife, Lisa & four dogs in a tiny Upstate burg about forty miles north of the PA border. I got my first watch, a Timex, at age 10 or so when my parents put it on my wrist while I was sleeping. Wasn't that sweet? I've always been particular about what watch I wore, but until quite recently had a rule that I can only own one working wristwatch at a time. Now I own several, including a Hamilton Khaki day+date, Seiko Presage automatic, Revue Thommen chronograph, & my current wear, a Ball Engineer Carbon Submarine Warfare chron. The last is the most expensive watch I've ever owned, & I'm continually delighted with it.

I started to learn watch repair quite recently, in part because Lisa bought me two vintage pocket watches, both by Waltham. They need work, which I'd like to do myself. Delving even further into watch-making & repair I guess my goal is ultimately to maintain all of my watches, even the chronographs, which I understand are the greatest challenge, & will take some time to master.

Anyway, greetings to all & happy holidays!
