Overhaul/Service explained
I am often asked about what an overhaul
entails. So I have started adding a photo of the movement, disassembled ready
to go through the cleaning machine. All old dried up lubricants, crud and
anything else that shouldn't be there is cleaned away. Then, it is reassembled,
lubricated, adjustments made and regulated.

About vintage mechanical watches:
A vintage mechanical watch will not perform like a
modern quartz (electronic) watch. It is not ideal as a daily wearer. It should
be treated for what it is, something old, classical and special. Treat it as you
would a vintage car - not ideal to use as a “daily driver”. Keep it in the
condition at which you bought it and it will hold or, indeed, increase its
value. Use it every day and it will go backwards.
I am a born again watchmaker! I finished my
apprenticeship in 1973 having completed technical training at the RMIT,
Melbourne. In the early 80s I went into retail (jewellery and watches). About
25 years ago I realised that the watches that once were common had become rare
and I began to appreciate their beauty both aesthetically and mechanically.
That’s when I started collecting classics. When covid hit, I retired from
retail, set up a workshop at home, regained my skills and am now restoring
classics with a passion.
