Pocket Watch by Richard Clayton Cincinnati
I found an old pocket watch by Richard Clayton Cincinnati in a box of family heirlooms. What very little I know about it is that it might have been built between 1834 - 1859 and that Clayton was a silversmith/watchmaker as well as a very well known balloonist c. 1830s. Does anybody know anything about these watches? Any idea what it would have cost when new? (This answer could solve a family mystery...) Many thanks for any information.. 100_1439.jpg

HELP!!! Independent service vs AP service center
Hi Guys,I recently purchased my first AP. Its a titanium ROO. Watch was purchased new from AP retailer in 2010. I purchased it from original owner ( my business partner). Watch was working great then began to notice that it had about 5-6 hours of power reserve. Now, no matter how many times I wind the watch it will not run.There is an independent watch service center (Universal watch repair in birmingham MI) which is very well known. They service high end, high complication watches from all around the US. They say they are very comfortable working on AP watches. Clearwater says I will be without my watch for 3-4 months. I know they do great work but really dont want to be without my watch for that long. Universal says they can do the service and check out watch in 2 weeks and for half the price.What do you guys thinks?Thanks for the help

Patek 3970 day date aligmnent
So I am seeking out a 3970. What I am seeing is that many have the watches I have looked at have alignment issues with the day and date wheels. Sometimes one of the indicators is not vertically centered but in many watches the indicators are crooked and are slanting down towards the center. I have never seen this on the 2499s or 1518s. What are your thoughts? Is this how they came from the factory or is this a wear or wrong-time setting issue? If it was only a need for an overhaul I would doubt the indication would be in the box but crooked. But I really do not know. I do not want a costly repair to change out the underlying gears for the wheels. Any experts out there who are familiar with this?
