Well done, a relief that it was not stolen.

Fascinating stuff, he's got some toys! I'd forget where everything went back.

Must be so satisfying when it's all back together and working well, not keen on Breitlings though.

I've been watching loads of those videos and trying to learn the rudiments of watch mechanics. My toolkit is growing and I've bought some broken watches to dismantle and practice on. I don't think I could ever be a watch maker, the scale is just too tiny for my sausage fingers but the fact that these tiny, intricate machines function so beautifully absolutely fascinates me. With modern tooling and computer design it's amazing to watch all the components doing their jobs, I just can't get my head around how basically the same parts were all made by hand by craftsmen a hundred years ago and these little works of art still function beautifully today.

My limit is changing straps & resizing bracelets & with Parkinson's it's easier to do when my meds have kicked in.

As a kid I took a few apart, that bit I was good at. Reassembly, that never happened!

Well, it doesn't look like Watchfinder are going to respond to my last message. Does not make them look good.

That's a poor show, they've gone down in my estimation. They've got a sale on at the moment, was tempted by a Rolex Daytona at a mere £20k for a moment

This one's different
