New To The Craft!

[Jason]

Hello all.  I guess a little it of an introduction is in order.  My name is Jason and I only very recently became interested in watch repair.  I served in the U.S. Army for 12 years and was recently discharged for medical reasons.  I started working with chain mail as a hobby and found that the intricacy helped me focus and clear my head. From there I started working with custom made jewelry, and now I find I want to expand my knowledge base into watches.  I don't know that I will be able to reach the level of professionalism shown in your many excellent videos Mark, but I hope to be able to get close.  It's great to be here and I can't wait to get to know you all better over the course of time.

 

V/r,

Jason Dillard

Hello Jason,

                    Welcome to the forum,  watch repairing is a fascinating hobby and has interested me for over 30 years.  It is the most exacting work and requires a steady hand, patience and having the right tools helps. It is not something that can be learned in 5 minutes,  but will repay the effort involved in learning.  This forum is a good place to start.
