longbike, yeah, I guess I didn't think of the other side of the coin. When you receive all of these watches then you have to find time for all the new projects you didn't expect! Also it's like you said, finding information and parts to fix them becomes a challenge especially when it's a watch you haven't seen before.

Nice problem to have though  But I think longbike has these amazing people that look out for him as he is an amazing person that looks out for everyone else, and you reap what you sow I guess. (You can send me the five bucks later King Louis!) |
