Just to say hi.

Have a few old family watches that i want to learn to service ... watched some youtube videos ..... got hooked .... signed on to Mark's course .... and here I am.

Pretty certain I will have rookie questions in due course that will require patience!

All the best

Tim

Welcome to the forum Tim .

That YouTube place has a lot to answer for. 🙂 

I have to admit ... I do seem to keep on falling down Rabbit Holes! 😂

There are a bunch of those.

Watch Repair Channel, The Nekkid Watchmaker, Steffen Pahlow, Wristwatch Revival. Some of my faves right there.

Haven't come across Steffen yet .... thanks 👍

I have to admit to being really impressed for the price - the image is crystal clear and sharp (doesn't photo that well, and you can zoom in a fair bit closer ....  it allowed me to successfully manipulate a hairspring on a practice movement I have been working on. A good option for those wary of investing too heavily at the outset.
