Yorkshire of course!! although judging by the weather weve been having recently, not so sure

I must admit Im used to fixing stuff far larger as a rule and with wheels, so its been a bit of a challenge (tiny tools and a magnifying lamp) venturing into watch repairs and somewhat accidental and of necessity following a couple of unfortunate happenings at our local ahem "clock mender", following visits in short order by my son and daughter to replace batteries. Issues with first watch were amicably resolved however,the second watch was more problematical and due to its value I didnt have faith in what he was suggesting as remedial action.

im hoping by joining the forum Ill be able to gain advice as to restoring the watch to working order so Ill take some photos and start a relevant thread, many thanks, Francis

Welcome aboard Francis, I too turned to DIY watchmaking because of issues with incompetent clowns.

My advice is watch videos put on you tube by Mark Lovic and others, read a few books on the subject and start practising on cheap watches of the type you intend working on.  Once you have the knowledge, skill and the all important feel regarding watch repairs, start working on your good stuff.

    • Hello and welcome from Leeds,England.  Ask away. 
    • What cutter are you using can you video the action 
    • Thank you for your introduction and welcome to this friendly forum. We all look forward to your contributions and continued involvement. 
    • 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.
