Hello! I am a relatively new tinkerer of watches that finally decided to join the forum.

I have been collecting watches for a few years now, and after Rolex decided to polish my precious little Oyster Royale, I decided to start learning a bit more myself.

After purchasing an SKX in faulty condition from Ramon, I got hooked. A large order of tools and parts got ordered from Cousins, and I was off!

What amazed me was the possibility of servicing a watch myself, an making it my own with mods. 

I have owned and enjoyed high end watches like a few Rolex and Omega before, but for some reason the japs (Seiko and Citizen) always got more wrist time.

For now, I really enjoy my Seiko and Citizen collection more than I ever did any Submariner or Seamaster.

I will be keeping servicing and modding Seiko and Citizen watches as a hobby, and perhaps helping out a few mates.

As I see it, any hobby costs money, but rather than spending a lot on hitting a small ball with a stick, I can wear my hobby proudly on the wrist!'

 

And yes, I am the one that have been buying all the best watches from Ramon lately..

      Thanks Mark I have uBlock Origin Lite add-on for my Windows Chrome browser, so I've never seen a single ad on this site ! It also removes all adds from Youtube - I couldn't bear to watch it without uBlock

      Thanks Mark, but can we still discuss the other important matter please and not be distracted from it. Thank you.

      You're probably not going to see a dramatic change but you should probably figure out what the lift angle is as it probably is not 52°

      In tandem with my last post regarding the removal of Google Adsense on this website - I have also decided to fully self fund this site as a gift to the watch repair community of which I’ve been a member of, and have benefited from since being extremely lucky to gain an apprenticeship back in the late 80s.    Well, that means that I have also closed down my Patreon account - or, to be clear, stopped all future transactions on my Patreon account and this is with immediate and permanent effect.    not to mention, but I will, I really really do appreciate the contribution all my patreon and PayPal supporters have provided over the years, you guys have been absolutely awesome and helped to keep this forum alive and available for those who might not be able to afford the payments.    again, from the bottom of my heart thank you.

      My pleasure. I would rather pay more than have those annoying ads ruin this site. They were a terrible idea and something I never even saw much, but I was on my iPad yesterday testing a security update for the forum software and it was impossible. I decided then - they had to go!!! Also, co-incided with this, for those who are paying for pattern in order to help fund this site - I’ve just disabled patreon. Future monthly payments will not be taken.  PayPal is a little more complicated. I will try to work out how to cancel the few subscriptions but if you are a PayPal donator then please feel free to cancel the monthly sub.  I will, however thank you all from the bottom of my heart for helping to contribute to this site financially - it means a lot. But going forward, I’m funding it personally from my pocket and that’s the end of it 😄
