I'm really looking forward to learning more about watch repairs, and would really love for it to be a new career, although I'm 37 so a late starter, and not sure how feasible it is. Been watching Mark's videos on youtube and endlessly obsessing about watches for a while so keen to get going. Nice to see so many posts on here. Hope everyone is well and enjoying their watches.

Just to say I'm 37 as well with a baby on the way. I started with Mark's videos around a year ago and they absolutely inspired me. Well worth the cash. I am now absolutely obsessed and planning to do the BHI distance learning course once I get a lathe. I have no idea how or why I got the bug or if I will eventually go pro. But I don't think it's too late. I think, somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but George Daniels started in his 40s? Although he was a genius.

Have watches older than you guys I got when they were new!   And several others along the way.  Just started with Mark late last fall and it's been great.  Wanted to do it for years.  All the years of looking at books came together on the videos.  So jump in!

Just ensure you have old junkers to start on.  Don't play with Granddad's Omega until you are certain you can!

Very good idea to start your business. This is the future actually, in my humble opinion. No, it is not too late, do you know how old was Colonel Harland Sanders when has started his Kentucky Fried Chicken business? Well, he was 65!

Yeah, he was 65! Twice as you are. By the way, I know that it can costs you something so, If you need finances, you can always get a loan by the way, what's the problem? I think that fear is what really stops you! You can get an online lean here paydayinusa.com KT if you want. Anyway, read carefully term and conditions before getting a loan! Wish you luck with your business!

      Many thanks. I'm writing from Italy. Really, this is one of most beautiful and relaxed forum about watches. Thank you for you work. Btw, I hope to buy Mark's lessons a soon as possible.

      This is not a business. If it was I would be interested in profit which I’m not. I have money and I’m happy to pay for it. I set this up for the reason you enjoy it.  but I’m going to be honest - it’s getting on my nerves now the moaning and complaining.  in particular, @Neverenoughwatches we both agreed in a PM that you would back off from pressuring me. In fact I can quote you - you said “ ‘bough said “ it seems that you cannot let this go and it seems you are absolutely hell bent on antagonizing me.    if you remember, I asked you to back off and calm down, get an Easter egg - have a beer - whatever relaxes you. Because life is too short.    you go through life and every now and then you get a person who can’t let things go for whatever reason. I don’t know if you’re just trying to show power or maybe you simply enjoy pressing my button. But it stops now - or I will have to find a way to forget you.    sorry, I tried being nice and tempered, I very rarely lose it on social media (go and check - I prefer the kind to be kind approach in most all situations) but I’m now getting extremely frustrated and I don’t need it mate. I tried to ask you in private - you agreed and have now broken that agreement.  now. Let me address the running of this site - I run it. And what I mean by that is that I do all the stuff that you guys don’t see or notice. I do security patches, I make sure the email system is kept running and spam free dealing with that side of things. I fix things when the backups stop working. I fixed an issue a couple weeks ago where all the template css files got corrupted - within 10 minutes!!! And tons of other stuff. So I don’t post very often! So what? I do other things. Why complain.  honestly - this is totally unreal at this stage.  you’re stressing me out for crying out loud.

      Rolex cal. 3135 issues

      They are just drilled lugs, so poke one side with your pin end of the spring bar tool and you should get enough to misaligne it and if needed do the same to the other side.   Tom

      I didn’t find any anomaly to the left of the red mark…reflection? this is the balance in its pivot in the inverted assembly. i can’t see any obvious kinks  and the spring is flat as far as I can see. Either the stud screw is missing, or it’s glued in… I don’t know. I’m loathe to fiddle with it. Any further insights? Thanks!
