Mechanical watch restoration as a hobby

Posted by Priya Patel

📍 Reno , NV


Started by buying broken watches on eBay for $10-30. Bought a basic tool set. Watched every video I could find. Destroyed several movements while learning. Now I can service and regulate most vintage automatics. The most meditative hobby I have found and the watches are usable objects when you finish.
