ihc185.com The MUD for watch collectors. They are little more "refined" over there, but it is a great resource. To get to the good info or buy anything from members you have to join for $12.00. Not a lot of traffic over there but those who do post know their $&!#.
Ball is literally the gold standard for antique pocket watches (time pieces
). Mr. Ball set the standards for RR grade watches and it seems every watch manufacturer made a watch with his name on it. These are all high quality watches and you will be hard pressed to find one for under $500.On ebay there is an average of 30 Ball's for sale at any one time vs. thousands of other individual brands.
Rice, That's a nice watch! Surprising that it is not RR grade. I'm not sure why it isn't, something else to research. I'm looking to surprise my Dad with a watch made the year he was born, 1935. If yours was a little newer I would be very interested.
If you get a chance post some pics. I would love to see it.
Here is an interesting story about Abe Lincoln's pocket watch:

Anyone ever watch "Scrapheap Challenge" and the US remake "Junkyard Wars"?
Forgot all about those shows, been rewatching them on Youtube here and there. I wonder - for those of you that have cable TV - do they make a show like that anymore?

Went to a great restaurant tonight with another couple. I ordered pheasant. Damn thing was as big as a chicken. I decided to be civil and only eat what I could easily get with a fork & knife. That left over 3/4 of my plate uneaten. Had it boxed up, then I proceeded to watch the clock and count down the minutes until I'd be home to ravage the remainder. Finally got our guests to rise from the table, we got up, I grabbed the box, turned to leave, then dropped the damn thing on the floor. It hit the ground, opened up and my pheasant rolled out of the box onto the floor. Two inches. That's right, it rolled only two freaking inches onto the floor. My entire day was ruined. Hell...maybe my life, for all I know.
What should we take away from all this? That's why they should put your box of food in a bag. I also considered this a sign to eat like a pig to avoid this entire situation altogether in the future Goodbye, $28. We hardly knew ye. (And...... arthritis sucks.)
