Received my copy of The Complete Price Guide to Watches today. Already 100 pages into it. This was just what I needed to understand some of the terminology and also get some great information on how the watches work, how to inspect them etc.

This has made me even more impressed on how so precise a machine could be made.

Bruce,
Yep! It's a great little book, and I couldn't live without it anymore.
Has tons of information in it too.

I can't wait to get my new one.

Keep on reading, it sure helped me out. Now if I just wasn't so old, maybe I wouldn't forget everything I read!!!

Good luck!
