Early Southy dials, yellow plexi insert, red plexi insert aaaaaaaand stainless steel insert...many thanks Dom!
A little glimpse in one of, eh....ten boxes, not mentioning the cabinets...
I assume that I have a few builds to do, a welded lug (perhaps two, thanks to Elias and Esdee) one polished and one blasted, a 6152, a Cali (Southy/Dow dial), a Davdew 6154 (thanks Dave!), a depth something (gauge?) from NZ (thanks Blue!), some fantasy 3646, brass and steel Legno, a few Hamilton dress watches powered by 917, 921, 923, perhaps a negative setter with one of the other Hamilton movements, not impossible that a Howard will find a home somewhere, the list goes on a little...
Engines are, Hamilton 917, 921, 923, 945, ETA/Unitas 6497/98 brushed, hammered, yellow/red, E. Howard, various Angelus SF240....
Yes, I admit that I am a slacker...perhaps a hoarder..
Should I start building?

Re: Should I start building?
No, M., no, thou shalt not build.
I mean once you've started, you gotta wear these things, look at them all day, make wristies and other compulsive acts, bear the envious looks of your peers.
And then, even more vicious, your drawers have to face emptiness and this in turn will force you to hoard even more stuff, just to fill the void.
These boxes are like stashes of crack. And Biggie already preached in his 10 crack commandments: "(Rule) Number 4, I know you heard this before, never get high on your own supply."
