Total newbie but totally excited!!

Hello friends, glad to be able to write here. My name is Alecs, I am 25yrs old, I live in Spain and I've been a watch enthusiast for about 8 years, started becoming interested in watch repair & restorations about 2 years ago, mainly because of youtube videos

 

Bought the course on watchfix and I am currently practicing, I almost finished buying all the tools and consumibles required (basic tools, oils.. and also gifted myself a timegrapher as an early Christmas present)

I do not have a lot of hands-on skill, naturally, and because of this I already broke a balance spring while reassembling a NH35A movement. But hey, at least I was able to take it apart pretty well xD

In any case, excited to be part of this community! Have a nice day!!

Hello and welcome from Leeds, England.  It's good to have someone young on here, in a previous thread, we were discussing our age. Don't worry, we all started off breaking things.
