I have found over the years that the best form of insurance is to become friendly with a good, local watchmaker. Find out what and where he was trained and show a real interest. My guy has been to Rolex, Omega, Breitling and I forget how many others. I'll just drop in and chat, IF he is not busy and watch him work his magic. I've learned more from him in the past few years by showing that I AM really interested. Half the time simple timing or 'tweeking' is a 'freebie'. Holmes
