Steampunk Art As Wearable Watch
The steampunk revolution continues to churn quietly as more products and crafts are being made in the distinctive motif. Sometimes being called "clockwork" or "Neo-Victorian" the style of using watch gears, movements, leather, bolts, and other implements of industrialization is becoming much more popular. While the steampunk genre has been around for a while, it has recently become something of a craze. Comic books are being modeled after the style, and movies made with a Neo-Victorian futuristic flavor. In some senses it is an evolution of the fantasy genre combined with science fiction, with a touch of alchemy.Of great interest are the crafts, objects and art that adorn the steampunk ideal. Rare are any mass produced steampunk accessories, but more common at individual artists who produce steampunk items of interest. No better way for these artists to offer such crafts on eBay. Here is one such artist with an interesting debut of such goods. Using watch parts, leather, and other craf

For my 5000th post, I post w/a heavy heart. I've been ... eliminated.
No, not bumped off, just fired. Things are not good, but maybe they'll get better sooner than later. All the sales reps in my region were brought into a meeting this past Thursday and were told our positions were eliminated. I've been there for 21 years and earned a very good income for the past 5-8 years. I guess we're a victim of economy cutbacks. They offered us 2 job options with the company, both of them earning less than 1/3 of what I earned last year. Option 1 would be sales work during the day 9-5 with maybe some evenings, but wouldn't be enough money to even pay my mortgage with after taxes, and we have a small mortgage!

The money would be about 1/2 of what I make now, maybe less. I'm going to try to get the day job earning alot less and look for a job in my spare time on the weekends and evenings. If I don't ge

Help with my Waltham
i recently inherited a waltham watch from my greatx3 grandfather and i need some general help and background since i am new to old watches. I winded it and it runs fine but it seems to have lost nearly 40 mins in less than 24 hrs. I dunno if perhaps i had set it wrong to start with but something seems wrong. It hasnt been serviced yet for probably 50+ years so that may have something to do with it. So i am just wondering if anyone can help me with what the slow/fasst lever in the movement does, if i can set the time while the watch is wound and running, or anything else an experienced watch owner thinks i should know. Thans in advance for the help .Watch Info:~serial: 29555276 (cerca 1937/8 from what i've seen)~says "Colonial Waltham U.S.A." on the movement~17 jewels~14k solid gold
