Hi from the Lake District

[chrisdt]

Hi everyone...Took up watch repairing after reaching retirement age. Find it very relaxing (and challenging) and have a passion for 60's Tissot watches. I have collected some tools both new and old and some that I have not a clue how to use. As you get older tired eyes can be a problem and I have found that a 'Long Arm' microscope is invaluable. it focuses from about 6 inches from the watch which is ample room for screwdrivers and the like. Especially useful for click springs that like to be air born. Hope to learn from the forum and assist anyone if I can.

Hi and welcome Chris, being retired I can relate to what you are saying.  Watch repair and restoration is a great hobby, and this is a very friendly forum with a lot if knowledgable folk from all background willing to help when required.

Hello Chris,
Welcome to the forum, like many others my lamp oil is getting a bit short as well and I use a microscope, visor, loupe, desk mounted magnifying glass and anything else I can get my hands on as well. The worst thing is working on two watches at once, well actually it was only one but single malt was also involved (;-))
Cheers,
Vic

Greetings!

My favorite Tissot's are the ones with the script logo, there's just something about that logo that I like.
