Subject: RE: BS: Old Pocket Watches
so I bought 16 cases of watch parts for 500 dollars .. a big expense for me but I buy and trade and sell and usually make out in the deal. so I go over to visit my Amish watchmaker friend who just restored my rare Hamilton 930 ... jaw dropping beautiful restoration. And yea I get you money is no good you owe me nothing. So I figured he would do that so I go get a case of hamilton parts to give him. He looks at them, refused to accept .. I said Mahlon I bought 16 cases of parts the hamilton parts were for you .. He said you have some very rare Ball Hamilton parts here, this case alone is work more than 1000 dollars maybe two ... so he made me take them home
