If I ever hit the Powerball, I'm taking a flight to order mine in person.

If I ever ordered one, I will ask to stay for a week in their workshop, and involve a little bit in my watch building. Whether only polishing the screw or placing bushing.

There are a bunch of youtube videos showing him at work. Here's a link to the first of a "hands" series. It's mind-boggling. To blue the hands, he heats a block of brass with a torch, then lays the hand on it until it turns the exact shade of blue he's looking for. Kind of a perfectionist.

He could learn from some of the eBay "restorers".

A blue Sharpie is much easier, quicker, cheaper.............
