Hello From Tewkesbury

[Invicta]

I month ago I took the plunge and bought some parts and a basic tool kit when my eldest son broke his Fossil Big Tic Flame.

Some weeks later it now illuminates care of a very cheap watch from China, has a photo of an ammonite for the face/dial and will soon have a new quartz movement. I also replaced the original wide leather strap with a black rubber one that has blue stitching.

 

I also fitted a new battery to my Tissot R50.

 

I fitted a new glass crystal and movement to a friend's broken Oilily

 

And am now working on rebuilding a Black and Gold 1980s Seiko 5 Sport 100.

 

So it looks like I've found a new Hobby! :)

Watches are a fascinating hobby and it's very satisfying to repair one and give it a new lease of life,  also,  welcome to the forums.
