Hi all. Pablo here.
Same old story, I suspect. After years of sporting Casios and Swatches, I bought a S/H SKX007 for around €100. I bought a new strap. I replaced the scratched bezel insert. Then the crown. Then regulated it to +2 spd without a timegrapher... I got lucky, it only took two days. Now I'm hooked.
Not much interest in high end watches. No longer watching YT videos about watches and coffee/T Rex puppets etc. Now I'm admiring the passion and skill of Spencer Klein and the like. I've bought a couple more SKXs. Next project; crystal replacement. It's a slippery slope.
Suwa v. Daini anyone? What is an arbor port anyway?

Welcome! Spencer is quite a talented watchsmith as are several other individuals on this group. Read through the old threads and you'll find out who has a good reputation with members here. Some are businesses and others are individuals that do it for themselves and may do a bit on the side or to help out a brother.
The SKX line is a future classis for sure (IMHO) and I have two in my collection and absolutely love them (an 007 and a 173).
