I can still hear a jewel cracking the pivot wasn't where it was supposed to be it was a really really pretty jewel in a pocket watch. I can strangely enough remember all the bad things I did when I started watch repair. More than likely are going to destroy it you'll remember that for a long time. Having worked with beginners and their watches I sometimes think a better approach would be to let you work on great grandpa's family prized heirloom watch. I am not at the point I can diagnosis whats wrong to fix an otherwise broken watch. I WILL put this back together again and it WILL work (that was just some positive reinforcement LOL).Īnother point of view might be if I took apart a watch that didnt work and put it back together. I appreciate the advice, But I never start anything thinking I will fail at it. If the watch wasn't running it was broken I wouldn't care but I just hate to see running watches destroyed in the name of learning purposes. They just tend to be very confusing for new people and not always fun to work on especially when you go to reassemble them. So this is a full plate American pocket watch things work just a little bit differently on these. As a newbie how do you feel about painful lessons? In other words if you destroy your first watch are you going to regret it? As Geo commented you have a nice watch that's running more than likely it will not be running after you take it apart and try to put it back together.
