5960 - A piece to have in a collection?
I am on a list to get a 5960 (hopefully soon) and was thinking about this watch over the weekend. My question is thishow does a 5960 fit into a collection from a "collectors" point of view? Meaning, do you see this being an important Patek to have in one's collection? I am fairly new at building a collection of Patek's, and want to buy the right pieces, but only if they are one's I'd also like to wear, and the 5960 surely fits the bill for me. As for "why" I am building a collection of Patek'sto be 100% honest, because I enjoy it. If it goes up in value, great. If not, oh well. The fun of having a great collection is enough for me, however I truly do want to build a great collection, that is ultimately appreciated by other collectors of Patek's who enjoy this brand as much as I do. So anyway, how does the 5960 fit into a modern collection of Patek's in your opinion? Thanks, Calfee

A newb attempts to open/fix a Dollar ($) Progress Pocket Watch - fumbling ensues
Hi WTFers, I have stalked internet sites, bought beginners' tools, and acquired a spread of dollar watches over the last few weeks. Now I begin my new hobby - learning how they work & trying to 'service' them. The following is my documentation and photos from the first attempt - a cheap, non-running Progress Dollar Watch. This is a lengthy post....so Moderators, if this post is too long, too picture-happy, or unsuitable for these forums please edit or tell me as you see fit!1. I created a basic information template so that I could organize the information on each watch as well as what the heck I was doing to service it. For all of my watches I now just paste in the boiler and fill in the data.WATCH TYPE: PROGRESS USA Pocket “Dollar Watch”Year: (?) Size: 6 (?)

What's better than an "Incoming!" thread? A DUAL "Incoming!" thread. This came surprisingly quick from a dealer in the Great White North:I love box & papers with a NOS vintage watch!And there's another prize - a Grand Prize, actually:And of course, the obligatory wrist shots after making a microadjustment of the clasp:
