Hi.

My name is Jason and I'm an alcoh watchaholic.

 I started getting into mechanical watches only 4 years ago. My daytime job is very time intensive, so I don't get as much time as I would like to indulge my hobby. I started off with Nicholas Hacko's tutorial but got frustrated (probably at the time with my lack of decent tools and lack of time) and never really got very far. I was drawn to this forum when I saw the videos showing the strip-down and rebuild of the Seiko 7S26 on youtube, which has given me the enthusiasm to have another go. 

In the last few years I hav been mainly playing at restoring (as best as I could) some old watch cases and have also been doing quite a few custom/modified seiko auto's. Basically I'm having fun and doing bits when I can.

Here's an example of one of my latest. It's a Seiko SRP275 handwinding and hacking 4R36 but now with a new hands, dial, chapter ring and domed sapphire.

      Notifications

      By JohnR725 · Posted

      if you're trying to keep track of conversations scattered all over the message board emails are an absolute must.   looking at the bell icon on the top of the page versus the emails today it looks like I got the correct amount of emails. So making some minor change based on the one of the images up above I started getting notifications again. But at times I still have a suspicion that something isn't quite right. I have some feeling that the message board may delay sending emails until something so seems to be a long delay between when you get your emails just a weird feeling things aren't quite right oh  and then even though I do seem to be getting emails I no longer get notifications of personal messages I don't find that out until I arrived at the message board where I'm pretty sure I used to get notifications of those two. So something is definitely changed on the message board. then for everyone not getting emails you do want to check your spam folder. I have found that sometimes were open up an email the system I use warns me that it thinks the email is evil and bad and I have no idea why he thinks some of the emails are and some are not. But this is actually the program I use not the email system which also has a mind of its own as to what it considers spam so you should always check your spam folder.
