This is very well deserved. My heartfelt congrats, and I wish continued success.
I have just started a small collection based on a few watches I got from my grandfather. I have been learning a lot from this blog (for years) regarding what is important for a collector, the intricacies of various movements and what to expect of a high quality service.
I have finally placed a booking request for an Omega 30t2rg – I am still waiting and keeping my fingers crossed. (I have been painstakingly collecting components for it so that I can propose an interesting project to Christian and his staff. I think only they can bring the watch to its full glory as a famed chronometre). I live in the US and tried local watchmakers but the results were bad because they don’t care much about antique watches like Christian does.
Being merely a feverish mad watch lover (zero knowledge towards watch repairing whatsoever), I still check out your site on a regular basis (although I seldom leave comments) just because the material that’s being published here is so interesting and educating. I most enjoy the Rolex repairing article simply because I’m a huge Rolex fan (especially vintage Oyster Perpetual models).
I still remember being drawn to your blog the first time with your teardown of 6694 post (most memorable post I’ve read from your blog). To see a watch to go from a rugged state then finally a great looking nearly new shape is just amazing.
I gotta share this with you Christian. So one day I brought my 16014 to a very famous watch repairer in Hong Kong and as he was testing my watch on that little number reading machine with blue screen (sorry I dunno the name of that thingy), I said the amplitude at 220 is kinda low. The watch repairer stared at me oddly and said wow my customers don’t usually say/know this stuff. I said yeah I learnt from a UK blog called watch guy. He said I read that blog all the time that dude is crazily good as a watch repairer. Interesting huh? : )
Congratulations and well deserved for a great job done! Keep the posts coming!
Ótimo serviço. Mais um mostrador salvo!

Love the Hong Kong story, which made me laugh. I would have liked to see the face of the repairer when you told him the amplitude was a bit low 😉
Boy, some of those blogs seem to be automated advertisements….Thanks for actually publishing something of value.
Amazing! Congratulations Christian!
We were just waiting for it to happen!
