Very coolAfter a lot of videos and tinkering with my own watches I have bought a couple watches and cleaned and made minor repairs . Long learning process and a lot of tools before I am anything but a tinkerer but really enjoy working on watches. View attachment 272642This one I just cleaned and replaced the crown.View attachment 272643This one I had to replace the case do to one of the lugs was worn through at the spring bar hole and cleaned the movement. Watch runs great.
I guess the next step is to buy an expensive watch to repair but staying in the cheaper end of the pool until I am a ton better.
Have an American Heritage I am in the process of reassembly on now.
Also have a Pocket Ben that I have rescued from the trash bin. Got it taken apart cleaned and in running order as long as it is in the proper position. Hair spring is bent and rubs to a stop. Have not tackled a hairspring but have been watching videos on straightening them out and figure a cheap pocket watch is a good place to learn .
Yessir! I do not have the steady hands for that stuff. I barely survive inside an electrical cabinet. It always amazes me how people can do that stuff.Very cool
