You can check out Bobs (bobswatches.com) to get a sense of wholesale/retail or the buy/sell prices. I would say a: they're reputable, easy to...
Not to pressure but if you want me to mail some assorted 16 size timing washers I'm happy to do so (it'll only cost me a stamp). On the other hand...
Ok here's my input (I know we don't know each other)..... 1. I would stay away from the first Wingate all steel watch. What I don't like: Minute...
