As you may have noticed, we we're offline this morning. This was caused by the "Thanks" plug-in going rogue and using up way too many server resources. This triggered an automatic suspension by our hosting provider as they thought it was a malicious attack. The "Thanks" plug-in has been disabled, hopefully temporarily so I can determine if that was indeed the cause, and take steps to prevent it from happening in the future.
I apologize for the disruption and for any confusion that may have caused.

Those look fantastic! And I don't think I've ever seen a pocket watch that thin before. I wonder who has them now?The Sultan of SoWhat wrote: ↑Sun Dec 11, 2022 9:47 pm Screen Shot 2022-12-11 at 10.44.53 PM.pngScreen Shot 2022-12-11 at 10.44.30 PM.png
Also, $10k in 1978 has the buying power of just less than $50k now. I bet if they did something like this nowadays they'd be way more than $50k.
I wish that watch were 38mm?

A true example of a "watchmaker": Someone who not only assembles the movement but crafts the case and everything else.The Sultan of SoWhat wrote: ↑Sun Dec 11, 2022 9:47 pm Screen Shot 2022-12-11 at 10.44.53 PM.pngScreen Shot 2022-12-11 at 10.44.30 PM.png
