[QUOTE="thor447, post: 3906991, member: 24867"] I completely agree. That’s what drew me into them as well. Just for a little perspective, the screw I’m holding in my hand in the pic below is the one that attaches the setting lever spring/cover plate on the dial side of the watch. In other watches, especially automatics, screws get much smaller than this. It just amazes me how something that small can be machined. [ATTACH type="full" alt="AFB37B3A-3ED2-4810-8780-A6CFD0110144.jpeg"]322836[/ATTACH] Here is a photo of the hair spring from the second watch I spoke about, and was the cause of its irregular time keeping. [ATTACH type="full" alt="6F028F33-E545-4104-AA6A-59FB7E72B43B.jpeg"]322837[/ATTACH] How they make those parts today, even more so making them 100+ years ago, is just incredible to me. [/QUOTE]
