(I highly recommend the cheap Cotes Du Rhone from Carrefour - it focuses the mind wonderfully!) The Bergeon Basher should be an absolute last resort, otherwise what are we? A group of complete strangers who have become familiar, and even friends, simply by exchanging info and support for the shared passion that is watch collecting and repair.Ī watch is a watch is a watch! Rolex, Timex, Artex, Lurex! When a mechanism is ailing, my instinct is to try and fix it.

Having said that, I'm a helluva lot more capable of servicing a watch now than I was before I joined simply because of the enthusiasm of all the members on here and their help and encouragement.

I came to this forum as a complete novice and I remain a complete novice, as I've never serviced a watch in my life. I know Timex pretty much symbolises the lower end of the market and the mechanicals don't lend themselves to servicing but when all's said and done many more people will have owned and enjoyed a Timex than will have owned a high end watch.
