    My absolute favorite watch. When my father died it was the only thing of his that I actually wanted because he had gotten it during the war and wore it for 40 + years, but it mysteriously "disappeared" at the hospital where he was at the end, and it was literally the only thing I wanted, everything else went to my sister. I have looked at tanks since then but they are just simply too expensive for me. Watching you rebuild this was incredibly satisfying and beautiful and it brought back many beautiful memories of my father. Thank you

    As a fellow watchmaker who spent his fair time restoring watches like this I must say outstanding job! My only criticism would be that you went a bit heavy on the case, working with sandpaper fixed to a plain piece of wood like you did with the crown probably would have allowed you to keep more of the shape and make it less „round“ but otherwise like I said, outstanding job!

      I in answer to my own reply, watching you restore classics that I’d never appreciated (let’s face it I was impressed in the 80’s by the Casio) you’ve made me me reflect on a comment I made to my grandfather, morbidly he asked me what he could leave me when he was gone that would remind me of him. I looked at his cracked analog watch of no distinct brand or probably value and said your watch. 40 years later he passed and that watch was gone. I would have loved something he’d owned by me everyday but it was never to be. I wished that we treasured things no matter how cheap or insignificant to remember our loved ones. Guess I’m getting old fashioned at the age of 52. Leave something for your kids and grandkids, even if it is a box of rocks you collected.
