Hey there.

I've lurked here a bit and feel I should introduce myself.

I am a little experienced as an amateur watchmaker and I enjoy restoring inexpensive vintage gens such as Elgins, Gruens, Enicars and some Hamiltons.

I started out by fixing a few and destroying a few. I found that many old watches just needed a superficial cleaning and some oiling to be restored to working order.

My interest in reps is in ageing and making them look vintage.

This site seems to be a great info source!
