God doesn't need to know what time it is.


Value of anything is a most fascinating subject to me.

Eric Clapton hasn't owned this  Rolex Daytona for nearly 20 years. It 's probably been in storage since he dumped it and is expected to fetch north of $1.6M?

For that much I'd want his playing ability AND his stereo system.

My dad left me a very basic Breitling watch before he died. He suggested I sell it because he knew I wasn’t interested in watches. That was the plan, but 5 years later I’m still wearing it. I grew fond of its qualities such as; self winding, doesn’t care about the internet, amazingly robust and waterproof. Basically it feels like something that will last for more than my lifetime and it’s rather convenient to get the time at a glance. Recently my love for this device has faded a bit because it’s not keeping time as well. It probably needs servicing and that’s expensive. It was running about 1 minute a month late, which I thought was exceedingly impressive for a mechanical device. I think it’s now losing a minute every 4 or 5 days. The change seems to have happened suddenly. It’ll probably get worse. Don’t know that I want to pay to have it serviced.

If it were me, unless it’s a ridiculous price, something like that IS worth restoring.

I never get tired of watching this guys restorations. This one is minor to other projects posted on YT. Fascinating skill/trade

 

@crustycoot: Actually, the guitar Ry uses primarily for his slide playing is a heavily-mofified Strat, not Tele. He refers to it as the Coodercaster ;-) . At the suggestion of David Lindley he replaced one of the stock pickups with a pickup out of an old pedal steel guitar. Awesome tone, but of course it always comes back to the player, his touch, and his musical sensibilities and taste.

i think that you are not an idiot and must know that everybody interested in watch mechanism and not only in Rolex brand name know that the first complex "watch" or mechanical computer was very ancient and unsurpassed before millenia pass over it ?

And astronomy/astrology of the greek is nothing save " sky fairy"...

You know that before Newton Archimedes genius anticipate calculus and theoretical physic?

Go back silent or post something which will be interesting TO ALL instead of trolling me...

When i answered your posts i gave ARGUMENTS...

Where does the imaginary sky fairy enter the story of watches?

Here is a Swiss watch maker thinking otherwise than your limited onlooker blind habit about greek "sky fairy":
