SkinnyPupp's Adventures in Watchmaking

570g in that? Wow that’s a heavy little guy. Very satisfying to use I’m sure.

That's a nice looking tool and 570g is great. I appreciate a great deal.

I think there is a case to be made for getting the Swiss set if you have visibility with clients, especially if they have a social media following. People can recognize that shit and you need to put the show up for it. Otherwise for you, unless you really want the Swiss set, then the hi-po China one is probably more than good enough.

[Hehe]

With all these equipments, Skinny, have you thought about getting into the rangefinder CLA/fixing scene as well?

Many of the parts are similar or less complex than the watch counterparts, and the physical aspect of them on how they work on a mechanical level is pretty much the same thing.

Stinkywatch is running really well now after a service. Man it is such a satisfying feeling to take a watch that isn't working at all, and getting it running like new again after a service. I am going to take its mainspring and put it in that first one tomorrow. These little movements are really great quality.

BTW this is the other one I picked up, it is in nearly perfect condition except the frame around the date on the dial is off. Just need to glue it back in, service the movement, and someone should want this. The dial is beautiful

(this isn't the exact one, but it looks just like this. Actually this picture doesn't do the sunburst dial justice)



Only issue might be the original bracelet, which did not come with extra links, is so small I can't even fit 4 fingers through it while open! Otherwise I might wear this myself!
