How Covid has changed the hobby for you

Post by **Mellons** » April 2nd, 2020, 4:25 pm

Im looking at this as a prolonged holiday, one where we have no one calling, no pressure and no meetings. Have just finished building a house in back garden, so it gives us plenty of time to start migrating and using the space. Im glad we have no older relations to worry about (an upside to having no surviving grandparents). Imo this virus is probably hardest for older people, health and separation from family. We will look back on this time next year and wonder what we did...
Pa im doing a lot more research into possible purchases and builds, a lot less ordering.

Work has increased ten fold for me but I’ve still had way more time to work on watch projects. Maybe even enough time to go a little overboard with projects.

I had a section of my office desk dedicated to working on watches.
Now that I’m working from home for a while I brought everything home and my at home office is a foldable card table. Still with a dedicated watch area. Just a bit more cramped and not as stable.

1. I know getting things international is going to take longer.
2. I have seen lots more sales recently than normal. It seems to be a good time to buy certain watches.
3. Watches I have that need to be regulated are getting done quicker as I am at home more.

Now, since Covid19, the only way to take a quick look at someone's watch while maintaining social distance, would have to be done something like this....

I have managed to finish all these builds in one month.

I hope Lou is proud!
