    I used to fix watches and sell them on-line for a buck or two - more of a hobby than a profession.

    Here's one where I saved the HTML:

    I did some watches some time ago. I'll have to see if I have still got the pictures. I was testing out macro at the time, so the watch is nothing special.

    Here's a Hamilton military watch I serviced long long ago and modified to be a left-hander (worn on the right wrist)

    "H3" denotes that the hands and hour markers are illuminated with radioactive Tritium paint and I also applied non-radioactive luminous paint to the seconds hand.
