A customer has sent in his Wyler Heavy Duty 660. It’s not running very well and needs a service. I have a soft spot for divers without bezels and think this looks very cool!

Restoration Giroxa calibre ETA 2783
A customer sent me his grandfathers old watch hoping I can bring it back to it’s former glory. He knows it’s not a valuable piece, but it has a good quality movement and the dial is good condition.

3D printing watch parts.
Hey everyone, I’m Warren Chang, a fellow WIS and follower of Mitka’s blog. As an avid tinkerer, I have wondered, like many others, if 3D-printing could bring any benefits to the table for watchmakers and watch enthusiasts.

Seiko 7s26-02JO Service.
A friend of mine, who is one of the most talented clock makers from the UK, decided to service his trusty Seiko. Clock tools are not ideal for watches so after loosing a cap jewel the project was abandoned. It would be cheaper to buy a new Seiko 5 than having this one serviced. We both think it would be a shame to leave it in that state, so I offered to put it back together as a favour.
