    Wow, Henry!
    Missed this at the time - great job!
    My watch reno efforts are confined to cases and crystals, but I recognise the joy of seeing a swan emerge from what was purchased as an ugly duckling
    It's the final countdown! PM me before they're all gone!

    Affordable watchmakers are in very short supply. I am glad you are keeping him/her in business!
    Too many watches, not enough wrists.

    I limit my work to the same as I've ruined too many movements to be under any illusion about my abilities.
    If the supply of ETA movement parts affects you please complete this survey:

    These threads will all be moving to the DIY sub forum. I'll be posting a few other renovations there as well.

    marvelous! There is something intrinsically satisfying about restoration - even when viewed from afar - It looks fantastic... and I can only say that I am so glad that you shared.
