Re: [MBZ] OT shoes and repair - wristwatches?
I'm hooked on vintage self winding Wittnauer and Longines watches from the 60s and earlier...

Especially when I can get a gold filled sterling silver cased one for $12 on Ebay that only needs a new mainspring and a cleaning to run like new.

Re: [MBZ] OT shoes and repair - wristwatches?
I've always wondered why an odd number of jewels - aren't they used as bearings? If so, isn't there one on each end of a shaft? Where does the odd one go?
