    Recently I was passed down this watch and found the movement rusted inside, so I wanted to see if it was possible to get it running again. Well horrifyingly I went to a watch repair shop and they said they can add a new movement inside which would be similar to the old one. When I visited...

    Hello, I'm new on this website and this is my first post, and I'm posting because I have just acquired my first vintage watch.

    Hi gang, My trusted watchmaker recently told me he can't work on a certain watch that I need serviced, and while I do appreciate someone who knows their limitations, I still need to find an alternative. So in perusing WUS, we have our Sales Corner, and we have a place for strap makers to ply...
