Optivisor on order! What really frosts my attachments is that I ran a tank through the saw and so did the owner before the leak showed up.

Wow, watches, that is really cool! I have always had a fascination with fine time pieces. Just really cool stuff. Did you see a special on the history channel a while back about John Harrison who invented the marine chronometer? Very interesting stuff and what a process he had to go through. I believe he is also the guy who came up with the idea of bi-metal rods for tall case clock pendulums to counteract changes in temperature effecting the pendulums' swing.

I missed that.   I read a book called the Art of Brequet and Brequet was the inventor of many of the things that you find in the  American railroad pocket watch that was used from about 1890 to 1940.   Those pocket watches were at their peak for time keeping, made in the USA and very few countries came close to matching the quality of those watches.   The variety of damaskeening is incredible during that time and works of art.

American Waltham was the first company in the world to invent the machinery to make watch parts with close enouph tolerances so that they were interchangable.  That was around 1857.

I wonder what one of those railroad watches would go for today? You could probably buy a 1st generation Rolex GMT Master or perhaps a Daytona for less!

There are some rare ones that would be up there in that range of the Rolex GMT, Daytona, or even the submariner.

Most Railroad watches would fall in the 350 to 1000 dollar range.     Your not going to find a Rolex for that.

I suppose not! The last time my GMT went back to Rolex NYC for work the bill was $1500! Needless to say I don't wear it much anymore. Bought myself some no name cheapie to wear and if it goes south, I throw it away and buy another for 19$.

I have some nice wristwatches too like yourself but since I retired and working outside all the time I do not use them any more.   I use my phone now.

Well being a watch collector it is much like chainsaws.

In wrist watches I have Omegas, Breitling, Rolex, Jaeger LeCoultre, Tudor, and a few old Hamiltons.
