In this episode of Pull The Crown, Chris and Julien get their hands dirty — but not with olive oil this time. They break down the world of DIY watch maintenance: what you can do at home, what you definitely shouldn’t, and where things can go horribly wrong.
From battery swaps and bracelet changes to polish jobs and service scams, it’s a deep dive into the maintenance mistakes that can cost you… or save you.
