First Repair

Recommended Posts

repziggy

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 :)

It is a slippery slope indeed mate. But full of satisfactions (and frustration sometimes) :)

May one enquire as to whether or not you have a certificate?

Thanks for sharing. Repairing watches is sometimes more interesting than just owning watches.

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. Welcome.
