1 Year Anniversary
This week marks 1 full year I’ve been in business as Third-Watch.com
I’ve bought 65 watches. Some new, some old, some junk, some great. I’ve sold 28. I’ve had 12 clients for repairs.
I came into this knowing I’d lose money the first year, possibly longer. What I didn’t anticipate is the depth of the relationships I’d form. I’ve heard so many great stories, from terrific people about watches that impacted their lives.
Today I’m delivering a watch to what started as an acquaintance and became a friend. He’s gone from a mild interest in watches to now buying his 3rd watch and now 1st Automatic and I can’t wait.
If you’ve ever bought from me, thank you. If you haven’t, maybe this year.
I look forward to seeing what this year brings. A few honorable mentions, @TwiceTollingClock for allowing me the privilege of restoring his watch. @ayadai for all you do here, and helping with my logo. @lubart for all you’ve done. I’ll forever cherish the Seiko 5 as a memento of our friendship.
To everyone else, I greatly appreciate your stories, fellowship, advice and encouragement. Here’s to another year.
I’m a watch collector turned watchsmith, watch salesman and watch appraiser. On top of the heavy weight of entrepreneurship, I work endless hours in logistics.
Nice to hear more of your story.
I'll be sending some more work your way, soon! 😀 Thanks for the wonderful job you did on my Stuhrling! 😀

Another hand painted bezel? Lol

Actually, it will be a bezel replacement (I will mail the part to you with the watch, since I already bought it) and a crystal replacement (you will have to source the crystal, I tried, but I got confused) ... at any rate, I will send you a private message when I am preparing to send it. I just gotta get a couple of other projects taken care of first. 😀👍

Sounds fun. There’s always something in the works.
