Hello from Rainy Bolton, NW England

[mistergrumpy]

Just a quick introduction. Long time lurker originally brought over from watching Marks videos. I'm very much an amateur and stick with pocket watches on the whole and have a good few awaiting parts, though I have played with some clocks and have a nice station clock that has a lot of sentimental value from one of the old shops in town that my Grandad rescued at some point in the past. I had my first play with a wristwatch a few weeks ago that housed a 2836-2 movement which was interesting as it went a bit wrong but I managed to sort things out. Those parts are very small aren't they?

I tend to dabble on and off because of my work shifts and I don't like to tackle a movement when I'm too tired because things inevitably go wrong. Hopefully people won't mind me asking a few questions and sharing their ideas on why something won't work and "if" I can offer any advice then I most certainly will.

Welcome to the site mistergrumpy! I definitely say: Do ask questions, by no means, that's a main reason why we exist, to share our collective knowledge. Yes, pocket watches are fun to work on as long as parts are able to be sourced, and wrist watch movements, like the one you worked on, can be very involved...mainly due to the size. I'm happy you could sort that one out, it is a nice movement, strong and proven...and yes, you are doing great and know when to work on watches. I do the same, if I'm tired I don't even look at them.

Cheers,

Bob
