 Very interesting topic.... I always was facinated by watch movements. Growing up in the fifties all watches were mechanicals...

My brothers and I would get ahold of broken watches and take them apart and try to fix them..Always got my fathers broken overwound watches...

 

Some times I could get them to work for a while, most times not..

 

I always stayed with mechanicals or autos, first Seiko purchased was in 1970.

As stated before, only male jewelery that I felt comfortable wearing... Now it is just alot of fun to display my different watches at home, ( which really bugs my wife).

 

I tend to give alot of watches as gifts.  And my middle son Colin, has really developed a good collection of his own, and he enjoys it as much as I do.

 

I like the larger, bolder looking watches..

 

By the way Jim, I think we know each other from the past.. I remember you as a tuff pain in the butt attorney ,who represented alot of the commercial fishermen out of Montauk.... I knew you moved away a while ago, I missed our confrontations in court.  You were a pain in my a.., but I had respect for you ,you always held to your principles...

Best regards,
