Vintage Watch Admirers

[Jak0826]

Hello! I'm from Indy and have always loved vintage watches and clocks. I just received my grandmother's Rytime 1940's watch that she received from my grandpa for their wedding and I would absolutely love to get it working!

Hello and welcome from England.  I would suggest to practice on something larger to start with, probably a  pocket watch, also you don't want to start with something that has sentimental value.

Just for clarification does this watch have sentimental value? If the answer is yes seek out somebody who knows how to repair watches and have them repair it. If the answer is no you can proceed to try to fix it yourself. Or if you want to learn watch repair first So you don't destroy it start with something much bigger something that you don't care about because everybody breaks stuff when they Are learning watch repair and not everything is fixable once it's broken.
