I went to the town transfer station to drop of garbage and recycled goods. I know one of the guys that runs it for the town he found a few Martin guitars and a handful of watches ( including a Patek) he had restored. We play guitar once in a while but he’s too talented I need to play bass with his stuff or I’m lost. He has restored guitars with value in the 4-5 figures that were just thrown away.
Hes not pompous about it just stuff he caught working 20 years with the town. I’m sure it’s more than he tells me. I’m just jealous he had the voice to match anything, I’m limited.
I find it interesting the bond that can be developed with a 5 minute talk about watches and music, breaks down the 500 things we probably disagree about.
