Hello from south Sweden!

[Tipsy]

Short history:

• Got bit by the watch bug summer 2017
• Watched way to many review videos etc. on YouTube
• Stumbled upon watch repair channel by this Mark guy, moved on
• Dug up my great grandfathers pocket watch, amazed that it would run without any issue
• How do watches work? and that maybe I could service them? gets stuck in my head
• Go back and check what that Mark guy was all about

Fast forward a bit, I've since serviced a few watches from Certina, Seiko, Rado, Longines, UG and Waltham. Fun bonus is that I've started to take note of movement designs, things I like and things I don't like. Still very new to this hobby and looking forward to the next chapter.

Happy to be here!

I'm from Skåne.

It does seem like more and more Swedes are getting into the watch hobby, in one form or another.
