Caught the bug during COVID, still going!

Hello all,

I presume I'm not alone in that I started my watch repair journey during COVID. My first project was in 2020 - a Tag Heuer 1000 Professional diver with a badly scratched crystal and no water resistance. I managed to complete the crystal and gasket replacements with a basic Amazon tool kit during quarantine. 

I've now invested in some better Bergeon tools and have expanded my collection to include a 70s Hamilton (needed acrylic crystal and case polishing) and an 80s Omega Seamaster (movement replacement - that was a journey), with a 90s Swatch chrono (crystal polishing/replacement, band and battery/movement replacement) and a 70s Junghans (battery/movement replacement) on the way. I'm also in the middle of a Moonswatch metal case mod, which will be my first "build".

I'm content with relatively basic quartz watch repairs but am not ruling out venturing into mechanical watches once my skill and knowledge levels expand.
