Hi all,

I'm Eddie, 24 years old and relatively new to watchmaking. Succinctly, I have aspirations of attending watchmaking school, and am generally here to begin learning new skills, and thus strengthen any application I make to a school in the future.

To date, my only experience lies with the assembly and disassembly of a Seagull ST36 (of which I confess I am struggling with the cannon pinion).

I immensley appreciate the content Mark Lovick produces for people such as myself, and look forward to speaking with other enthusiasts on the forum.

Kind regards,

Eddie

Hello, here you are just starting out on a very interesting profession and I wish you all the best. Me I've had my time and I'm retired. You will never stop learning there will always be something new. This is a very friendly forum and it has an abundance of info and many on here like to help. Photos are a great help if you can provide them with any problems you have with movements. We also have a section for those interested in clocks.

Welcome aboard Eddie, I was where you are now a few years ago, its a very rewarding career, but can also be very unforgiving.  Take your time, learn as much as you can, and don't ever get yourself stressed, slowly slowly.

Hello Eddie,
Welcome to the forum. I have no aspirations regarding watch repair as a profession but like some others here,I love to tinker.
I was attracted here by Marks videos and his advice helped me to bring a treasured watch back to life and so I became hooked.
Watch Making is a whole new ball game requiring a knowledge of turning your own parts not just buying them which the School will no doubt train you in. It sounds quite exciting but beyond me as another oldish guy retired etc. I am happy pulling them apart and servicing. I wish you well for the future.
Cheers,
Vic

      Kalle Slaap said he is visiting London this week in order to see the exhibition. I was keeping an eye open, hoping to meet him.

      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.
