Sure. But maybe he's not ready to donate them as a pass-around watch. Wink

An excellent collection! Thumbs up! You have a couple that are new to me.

Anonymous User182November 29, 2011 02:49PM

I have a large bunch of them, They were given to me by my watchmaker.

Thumbs up! That's very cool Paul! (n/t)

BobbyMike195November 29, 2011 06:11PM

Re: Like you said, they get no respect, and in the meantime they are vanishing due to the perceived lack of value that they have. Someone has to care or else the world of Horology will become that much poorer with their absence.
