    Unfortunately, my girlfriend gave a strong veto on this one. Just thought I would pass on some information from a potentially interesting Craigslist Ad.

    https://sacramento.craigslist.org/jwl/5847966775.html

    "Several boxes of watch parts, tools, bands and an L&R cleaning machine.
    These came from a watchmaker's estate. $200.00 takes it all. No cherry picking.
    Thanks for reading. (916) 781-2305"

    I was going to say something snarky along the lines of the OP being ruled by the female sex parts but, having looked at those pictures a little longer, decided that lot looks like a bunch of time wasting junk.

    Oh, wait! Is that a Ed White case I see in that shoebox???

    Well, we live in a small apartment so she does have some say. Also I think It would be hard to convince her that, "we have always had those boxes of old watch parts. You must have just forgotten"

    Gotta be worth $200 surely? Should be a high chance of at least getting the money back on eBay and an offchance there'll be something nice there.

    Worth a look...go dig through...worst case there is some decent stuff, you buy the lot, and store in your trunk.

    I have done that before...hell I still do it...my Land Cruiser is part storage unit for crap i dont want my wife to see!
