Greetings from Texas

Greetings All. I'm an amateur watchmaker who first took up the hobby about a year ago and who has since dived in with both feet. I have been restoring vintage watches of various types in need of service or repair. I've attached a photo of my growing collection of self-restored watches. Most of these where purchased in non-running condition. Some came back to life with a simple service, while others required a lot more work, but they all run well now. I've also done case restorations on some of these (metal plating, etc.), although I tend to avoid it unless the case is in truly terrible condition.

I look forward to picking brains around here when I get stumped, and sharing what little I've learned so far!

Hello and welcome from Leeds, England. 

Nice collection.

This is an impressive collection for one year, including a few chronographs and other complications it looks like. And how many vintage Seamasters?
