It’s been two years since I received this watch. The original owner and I still occasionally email. Dave just turned 80.
He surprised me today with an email recounting how he spent the sale proceeds. Pretty special to know this:
“I just wanted to share a little show and tell with you. The proceeds from the watch wound up right in my yard, with a little shop and everything in it. Photos attached, along with a few things I have made. I am not a gun owner or enthusiast, but I sure do love making these little [non-working] six shooters….
The tower cranes take too much time and too little expertise, but they sell for a lot more than I make on the guns. The big tower crane sold for four grand. The little guns make lunch money but I do them because I want to get better at it.
I trust you are still giving that watch a little outing every so often.
Warm regards
Dave”
