Hello lasantiag

Which watch brands are you interested in?

Enjoy your time and let us know if you have any questions :welcome:

My favourite brands are Graham and Uboat, I love these big watches with some special details on the left, such as Uboat Chimera, Uboat U51 Rattrapante, Grahan Chonofighter (specially vintage colection).
I asked many TDs and unfortunately the manufacturers stopped doing those watches.
I also love IWC and just bought a Big Pilot Le Petit Prince. I am waiting the QC pics.
I also bought an Uboat Chimera Black and Rose from a good guy that is not in TDs list but that I bought on the past a good couple of reps and all was satisfactory. He did not have it but could get one!! It was already sent and I am waiting for it.
I am now getting more crazy with this hobby and want to learn as much as I can about how the movements work, how to repair, etc...I bought a tool kit and a cheap watch in AliExpress just to dismount and play :-D

This is a great Guide for Newbies. As mentioned by some earlier, it will be wonderful if this original guide is updated (where needed). Thanks!
