Speaking of vintage pieces, I should go to the Bank Lock Box, and take some pics of the old pocket watches. There's Howard's in there, 100+ yrs old.

I watch a lot of watch restorations on Youtube and there are a lot of self-taught guys on there who are excellent but I know they have practiced on hundreds of watches to get to where they are without breaking things or losing parts. They also have thousands of dollars worth of Swiss Bergeron tools.
