  1. Hey everyone. Lovely forum you have! Lots of incredible advice and definitely more variety compared to most other watch forums. 

     

    I've been on a bit of a watch journey recently. Decided to try and fix an old Tissot watch that my father owned by myself. Succeeded in that, so I went to a few yard sales and bought a few more watches to fix up and quite enjoyed it.
