Hi, this is my first post so I thought it best to introduce myself to everyone, my name is Brian, originally from Scotland, moved to the states in 2009, I work in a nice jewelry store here in New Jersey with three other watchmakers, I'm fortunate that my store sell and service many nice brands from Rolex to Breitling, Cartier, Baume Mercier and Pateks and we get the opportunity to work on these watches and attend training at their respective service centers, I have been there since 2011 and love every minute of it.

I very much enjoy seeing Marks' videos online and find them very informative and well put together, excited to join this forum to discuss and learn more about this wonderful trade from other members.

Thank you all for accepting my application and I look forward to chatting, learning and sharing information with other members.

Brian

Hello Brian, working on such high grade watches is always a delight. Loads of info on here for you. Tell me how do Americans get on with someone with a Scottish accent. :D

Greetings and Salutations!

Great having another pro on board, amateurs like me need someone to smack 'em upside the head occasionally when we goof things up ^_^

Hello from me Brian,
Excellent that you chose to join us. I can only claim a quarter of Scottish ancestry as it was my grandad who was a proud Scot. Oddly enough his Surname was Paisley.
Cheers,
Vic

      Hello from the Philadelphia area

      By Rocco · Posted

      Hello, looking forward to participating on the forum here! I will mostly be listening and asking questions since I am an amateur hobbyist. I have most of the beginner hand tools and a Timegrapher. The extent of my tinkering consists of a successful Seiko 7S26 to NH36 movement swap inside an all original 1997 SKX007, along with a bunch of battery changes for friends and family. I have yet to tackle full disassembly and cleaning. Right now, I don't really have the budget or time to invest in a cleaning setup (even manual cleaning), but hopefully soon! I joined because I recently purchased a mechanical Timex Camper from 1994, and my searches for information regarding servicing and swapping out these Timex mechanical movements consistently led me to Watch Repair Talk. There is also a wealth of knowledge here about dial design, another area of interest for me. My other hobbies includes leather working (mostly small pieces, shoes eventually), crochet, sewing (would love to make clothing), design (especially type design), home espresso, cocktails, and tennis. I want to buy a film camera, but I don't need yet another expensive hobby involving last-century technology. Yes, I have ADHD.
