Hey guys,

I just started a blog to keep track of all the watches that I'm going to restore. I finished restoring a Geo Forrester watch yesterday and I was really excited since I find it quite pretty actually. I hope you guys will take a look at my blog, at least the pictures! It's still in the workings, but I just wanted to get a post up to document my first major restoration.

Thanks,
Gary

Wow thanks for all the support! It's a great hobby and I would really encourage others to try it. Unfortunately I'll have to sell this piece eventually :( so I can get more watches to repair and post on the blog :)

Thanks again!

Crasian1030 well done on the blog and I'm impressed with your "Get-r-done" attitude. I wish you much success in your continuing horological endeavors and attaining your goal of making enough money to buy yourself the well deserved watch of your dreams. Keep up the good work.

Very nice Gary! It takes a lot of talent and confidence to restore a piece of history like that. I really enjoyed your read.
