Hello All!

My name is Riker. I work at a small family owned jewelry store in central Washington. Our watch repair guy retired almost a decade ago. Fortunately I have his tools, unfortunately I have very little know how. I'm looking forward to reading more and gaining more knowledge here!

Many thanks,

Riker

Welcome Riker!

Thank you @Tudor! I've been on the lookout for a Ranger Prince Oyster Date from your namesake for a few years now. Price just keeps going up as the family grows and budget goes down.

Just don’t get a “red” ranger, whatever you do!

Thank you Riker for your introduction and welcome to this friendly forum.

You should enroll in Marks courses that will get you set up to be a watch repairer.

Thank you @oldhippy! I plan to! I've done quite a bit of very very basic superficial stuff that I learned on his channel actually, reattaching hands, swapping dials on movements, ect. Thank you for the recommendation and welcome!

Welcome to the forum Riker.

As @oldhippy suggested, I would suggest that Mark's course would be a great start point for you as well.

I was seriously looking at starting it myself, but have found myself migrating to clocks currently.
