Hello from Alberta Canada

[Del]

Good day,

I've been fiddling with old mechanical watches for a couple years and destroyed a load of disposable cheap russian watches figuring out how to put one back together.  I do wish I'd discovered Mark's channels  before I had to sacrifice so many to the cause.  On the bright side being made by the millions a few dozen won't be missed.

I'm pleased as punch to have found such a complete resource to learn from.  Thanks

Hi Del, I was brought up the hard way as well. I did get some training from a real good watchmaker friend though many years ago so I was lucky. They keep their hands close to their chest nowadays to keep their jobs. Yes, Mark is excellent. Good wishes Del and welcome.

Making sacrifices to the Watchmaker Gods is not unusual for beginners. They will reward the effort with years of satisfaction.
