Early ‘90s Debenhams in Oxford Street at InTime Watch Repairs. The older guy was one of my mentors Mr John Campfield, fantastic ex-Omega watchmaker. Good times - black hair gone now! 😄 -

Heh. Well, also I just want to be able to do it, for no other reason than it's interesting. Same reason I restore antique tube radios and ancient computers- like, from the 1970s. Sometimes, the parts just aren't there and you have to know how to make them. Learning how is a challenge and can take months or years, but it's honestly the best part! You can't beat that sense of triumph when you do something that's really hard to learn to do and do it well. -

I appreciate your unbridled enthusiasm. We're you born in Texas? I set an ebay watch on impossible parts...eventually they show up. -

NIce! Unfortunately, I may have a movement or two for which a cannon pinion simply does not exist. I figure it's a challenge- put the movements on the shelf, work on other watches for a while, but also learn how to fabricate parts, and once I'm good enough at it, revisit the watch. The worst possible result is failure, and that doesn't bug me much. 🙂 -
My profile photo is age 20, last century, but I still look exactly the same so I'm not sure it counts ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
