Old watches,
running again

Certina DS-2 with the caseback off, calibre 25-651 with the rotor visible

I look for old watches that have stopped, and get them going again. The best part is handing one on to somebody who will actually wear it. What cannot be saved is kept for parts, so it goes into somebody else's repair instead of a bin.

Inside the movements

Every movement I open is filmed as it comes apart. You can see where each part sits and how it lifts out, which is the thing hardest to work out from a manual.

Sell me a watch

Running, stopped or in pieces, I am interested either way. Send a few photos and you will hear what it is and what I can offer. No obligation.
