My First Watchmaking Project!

[tranny]

I've been reading a book on watchmaking for the last few days. I figured to "play around" while reading, I'd get a broken watch off eBay and tear it down, and see if I can fix it! Here's what I bought: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...#ht_500wt_1306

Excited! :)

Wow, awesome! That's some serious inspiration... I can't believe that was your first project! You have more guts than I do.

Good luck Steve! I wish I could start practicing right away just like you but my budget is kind of limited right now! I saw we make a bet: the first one to put a Tourbillon up wins a whole fruit cake!

Have fun and keep us posted!

I'll one-up you on that... my plan is to invent a whole new type of watch movement. I designed something about 5 years ago, and I always wanted to be able to build it, but thought I would eventually hire a watchmaker to do it for me. Hopefully, I can figure this stuff out and put something together myself!
