I wnted to tell you folks here how much I have enjoyed the info presented here, from the forum I got a 4th wheel and second hand for a 16 sz Father Time Elgin, got it put in by Rob Carter in Tn. I had had this watch since 1972 and had no idea how to get it fixed until this forum. I used to buy a lot of watches from Rose Ind. in Chicago that bought gold I got some real treasures from them the best being an 845 21j Waltham movement for 15.00 in good runing condition, the Father Time, also a 19j B W Raymond 16 sz. So you know I found the forum on the Smith & Wesson forum and book marked and now am a paid member. Thanks for the enjoyment!

Welcome, Jeff!

Jeff, Welcome to IHC185 membership. Every one of us can totally agree with you that the benefits of our group and forums have greatly improved our knowledge and enjoyment of horology with the extra pleasure of gaining a large and unselfish support group of friends.

Welcome Jeff! I too an new to this forum and found it to be the best by far. The info from our fellow members is valuable beyond the cost of sending a watch out for repair, when with a little tip or two from this site you're able to do the repair yourself.

hello Jeff. these guys and gals know a thing or two about watches and are very good about sharing it with rookies (like me).

It's what I love about this forum. No one's ever made me feel silly because I didn't know something or asked a really basic question. I've been on other forums where the people just make you feel like a complete fool.

This is a very positive environment.

And Lindell once called me personally to help me out with a problem. I'm still floored by how nice that was.
