Hello fellow watch enthusiasts my name in Landry. I love pocket watches and I have a Waltham 1899 16s 7j pocket watch, the case has a nice engraving of a train on the back. This is my first pocket watch that does not have a battery my other one is a Mickey Mouse and the battery is dead again. I have always wanted to have a winding pocket watch. The watch that was given to me was not working and I did not know where to take it to have it serviced so I decided recently to work on it myself. I don't know much about watches but I am mechanically inclined. I am currently taking the watch Repair Course I am enjoying myself I just purchased some tools and I have some other pocket watches I got from Ebay. I wanted to work on some other watches before I started on mine.  I think I will be sticking to Waltham, Hamilton, Elgin, Illinois and the like. I did get one Swiss Galco stop watch in an Ebay purchase but I will work on that after I get used to working on other pocket watches as i'm not sure what I will run into with the Swiss stop watch. Look forward to learning some stuff here and chatting with you. Thanks Much
