Hello from Sweden

[Vector]

Hi all. 

First post.

Recently got hooked on watch repairing. Watches have always had some weird pull on me, but now, opening the back of a watch and seriously studying it - a whole new world has opened up. I desperately want to learn more.

Have been collecting watches for a few decades, but limited to budget-friendly brands such as Seiko, Citizen and Certina. There are an occasional Festina and perhaps even a Jacques Lemans in the collection as well. Do have two mechanical Omegas and a Longines, but they have been passed on for a few generations. Nothing I fiddle around with in my beginning stage...

 

Hope to learn more from you guys!

 

Thanks!

Welcome Vector. Seiko watches have a huge following and also probably the most modded brand. Certina also known as KF, KFG not to be confused with KFC and Grana were a good quality brand. Very wise not to tinker with the longines or Omegas until you have banked some experience. We sigh when someone joins the forum with an opening introduction of # I've never taken the back off a watch before but decided to have a go at making this family heirloom watch work again annnndd #

Hello Vector

From your introduction I now know that you are situated in Sweden. That's nice to know and such information helps when you need info where to get parts etc.

It would be very nice if you were to include this location info in your profile, for everybody to see.

BTW, a lot more members should do that.
