Wristwatch collectors out there?

I’ve been gathering early 70’s Times stuff that works to rebuild a watch my father left when he passed.
I’m almost there. I just need to sit down with all of it and start building.
It ain’t easy.
You guys try to rewind a mainspring sometime and see how it goes.

Hey Scott, you probably know this but there are some great watch repair videos on YouTube.

I can recommend a guy in Chicago if you like. Cash or Zelle (I think) only, but he does really nice work.

Me, I'm into vintage Hamilton wristwatches these days....
