Charges: 2 counts of Douchebaggery.

On the first count: Having a giant watch. « not guilty ». Some big watches are someone’s dream.

On the second count: Counterfeit watch. « Guilty »

1 - Bracelet removal.

2) Crystal must be removed. Could otherwise be used as a weapon.

And finally. Case back opening and movement service.

This may have offended some… the watch was in an old building that we bought. Does not belong among my watches, no matter how modest they are.

Let the punishment fit the time.

Still, difficult to watch.

I have a fake SMP that might require this type of service. Inspiring!

I think you need to administer a National fake watch buy-back program. $1 for each watch turned in. Then you can offer people in anger management programs the opportunity to destroy each watch for $5, profits to benefit free horology schools for youth programs. Win-win for all of us.

Great to see something deservedly return to the elements. There's nothing like accelerated aging or 'forced patina' of a timepiece!

Crikey, if I were a criminal I certainly would not want to cross you. 😵‍💫

I believe I can revive (as my watch making practice continues) that thing so that you can smash it again.

Haha! Paper or plastic?
Was hoping to trade it with you for a Rolex I bought from a nice man wandering along the beach in the south of France a few years back. He had several he was selling. Who knew that's where high-end watch dealers ply their trade.

Did he make you buy 2 for your wife and some uglier ones before you got to choose?
