Thanks LaNell. Watchmaking is a great marriage of science and art. I'm just learning and don't have enough experience to recommend anyone. I would visit watch forums and ask people. You can google it and find people in your area and ask around. Maybe people you know or work with could recommend someone.

Thanks Yogesh. Most of the photos are with my AmScope MU300 Digital Camera, and a few are with my Fujifilm FinePix SL 1000. The Fujifilm camera shows the date in the photos, but sometimes a comment box covers the date up.

In reply to Anthony.

Thanks Anthony. I don't think I could do it without a good microscope. My experience with electronics is very helpful when dealing with tiny components.

Fascinating hobby. A science more than an art.

I do NOT trust the only watch repair person in my area. Though full of Pateks, Rolexs, and such....I have no idea where they take them for any type of service.

My watch, unworn for decades, is a lady's Bulova automatic I received new in the early 1970's. The ugliest watch ever, but I'd like it all to be cosmetically fixed. And checked for all else in case mechanically out of order.
Any suggestions. My USA zip is 34102.

Hi Robert
I have an accutron that my wife gave me on our 1st anniversary in 1964 I wear it to this day and it runs like it did when I first got it.
I used to enjoy the sound of the tunning fork but as the years have gone by my hearing has gone but I know that it is still humming as it keeps perfect time
This was a fine article
