repziggy 0 Posted October 31, 2017 Well chuffed with myself. I had a watch that I really liked, but the crown was damaged. I bought a donor watch with the same movement and managed to switch the crown/stem over. Delighted that it actually worked, and now one of my favs is working again I have always been pretty handy with most things, bit this is the first time I have attempted any sort of watch repair - apart from the usual strap changes etc. I fear this could be a slippery slope to me buying broken watches and trying to fix them I have a history of doing that with MacBooks etc Anyway, but wanted to share my good news Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Leslie 62 Posted November 1, 2017 Thanks for sharing. Repairing watches is sometimes more interesting than just owning watches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Not Quite Dead 9 Posted November 1, 2017 You also start buying tools that only have one very precise purpose and then when you look around you have several boxes of throbbet pullers and graunch setters as well as a kitchen table that is a marital problem.
