Watches

It might be difficult to replace the crown and stem, assuming it's a genuine Soviet movement. No harm in asking, but I understand timpsons is "we can change the strap for you" levels of knowledge.

If there's a jewellers or specialized watch repair place that might be a better bet, but tbh likely more then the cost of the watch. I think my Kopernik was 50 quid or so, and it's hard to see it being serviced back to normal for much less than that.

Good luck! I think those hand wind mechanisms are quite interchangeable so you might be able to buy one for cheap and do a quick replacement? That's about the limit of my knowledge unfortunately

Just bought a 9 year old Huawei Watch 1 on the understanding I can run some kind of open source OS on it.

In photos it looks surprisingly fancy even now; if it is as good when it arrives I mount just find a nice minimal clock display and bring it out for formal events.

I never knew automatic watch winders existed!

Made a white dial and built this moody 1958 'Pan Am' GMT using a Seiko GMT movement


Not a fan of gaudy OTT watches, so I knocked up this understated and plain-jane number

I've never been hampered with a surfeit of good taste so I'm not gonna lie, Mr B, I adore that bejewelled behemoth. Absolutely love it.
