Bidding on a stunning Antique Manual Wind, Features a Stunning engraved crest, the movement is stunning, this is a stunning pocket watch. I was dazed and confused after reading this description, of course this stunner did not run!

This wasn't a description of an eBay watch, but is an answer I received to a question I had sent to a seller. The watch up for sale had a blurry picture of the dial and back of the case. It was an Illinois, so I asked if they would post a picture of the movement. This is the answer I got back this morning: "How can I do that? There is no movement to a still picture." Bet you never heard that one before!

Good grief! Roll Eyes

I guess we will have to refer to the movement as the "guts" of the watch.

Thanks, Bruce. I got a good laugh out of that one!
