    Hello! This is my first post here. I've taken on the responsibility of restoring my Grandmas watch. It is an old Omega ladies watch. There's no stem and in very bad shape. Taking it apart I wanted to check the movement to repair/replace and noticed it's not an Omega movement. Most likely a fake...

    Hello all! I was unable to find the answer to this in my research. Are natural rubies used in any watches in the 21 century or currently? I understand the industry made the switch in the early 1900s when a process to synthesize these expensive rubies cut manufacturing costs and import...

    I've been working on homemade watches for a long time and im might sell some of them next year. Since they took months to years, the question now is which movement should I use? At the moment I usually use SW200/-SW300 and ETA 2892-A2. However, I can well imagine that a watch with a luxury price...

    Any time a watch stops working, the dread can kick in. What’s wrong, why won’t it run, why is it keeping such poor time? You bought a quality timepiece and repairs are not that tough, however the cost can be quite high, especially from the manufacturer themselves. There is always the ability to...

    Hello everyone, I have the slight suspicion that two of my watches might have gotten magnetised after a recent travel. All I’ve used to check it is the Lepsi app on my phone, therefore why I’m not completely certain if they are actually magnetised, since I haven’t noticed any drastic changes in...
