No so artsy pic of someone's bench (found on line)...
I remember visiting a fellow watchmaker in town years ago who had a bench for sale that I thought I might buy. When I got there it was covered in about 3 inches of various items. Dials jammed in there getting scratched up, movements piled up without regard for damage, and he had one tiny area cleared off to work on. I passed on the bench, but I'll never forget the poor state of it...I wonder how many customer's watches were damaged by being on that bench...
