[QUOTE="thor447, post: 3847093, member: 24867"] I'm getting closer to a point where I'd feel comfortable doing a general mechanical service on someone else's watch. I've gotten a few more under my belt since the last update, including one particularly challenging 70's Lord Matic that is currently getting run in on the timegrapher. I'm finding most of the parts needed for the watches I've been working on are only available overseas. It's taking 2-3 weeks in many cases just to get parts in, but thus far I'm seeing good results with my work. There are still a couple of big ticket items that I'd like to get (tool wise) that will allow me to do some specialized repair work, but I'm fully set up now to do basic watch service. I still have a long way to go but it is enjoyable. [/QUOTE]
