gplracer Posted January 16, 2010 Report Posted January 16, 2010 One of the hardest things is having a workspace free of dust. What do you do to insure that dust and dirt does not get into your watch while you are working on it?
freddy333 Posted January 17, 2010 Report Posted January 17, 2010 Dust? You will not find dust (or anything else) on my bench? To be serious - before recasing & after thoroughly cleaning the case/lens, I always place the case on top of something dark (I use a green Rolex leather card holder) which highlights any dust/debris that resides on the underside of the lens. If it looks clear, I case. If not, I clean & repeat. You rarely find anything that does not belong inside my watches.
alligoat Posted January 17, 2010 Report Posted January 17, 2010 It's certainly on my 'to-do' list, clean up mess on watch bench! I even bought one of those Stack-on storage containers to try to make order of my chaos. So far no luck.

gplracer Posted January 17, 2010 Author Report Posted January 17, 2010 Freddy it looks like you have enough parts there to fund a gen purchase.
Ronin Posted January 17, 2010 Report Posted January 17, 2010 @Freddy333, how does the adding machine/calculator factor in to watch repair.

So far no luck. I know what you mean. For nearly 2 years, I have had a (still unused) storage container taking up space (rear left in pic) that I bought with the intention of relocating most of the dreck you see cluttering up my work space into its neat little pull-out drawers. Just never seem to get around to the task of actually getting it done. On 1/17/2010 at 12:45 AM, spooky driver said: sorry freddy but what is that then? My work space.

If the Chinese can build reps where they eat, I can pay bills where I build watches.
