A New Project

A new project looms on the horizon.  Let's see if despite all of the cautions, it can be brought back to life -

I was able to obtain this piece (full disclosure with details shortly) and felt strongly enough that I didn't want to see it have to utilize its "organ donor" card, that maybe, just maybe despite the warnings and "caveat emptors" - it could be be brought back to daily, useful life.  I have been assured that the movement is rusted, that it is only good for salvage, that only a fool... well, I've been a fool over less - and it's hard not to be romantic about watches.  I have already put out the call to some folks who might - just might be able to help. 

I think we've grown too accustomed to casting things aside because it isn't quick and easy to fix them.  And in doing so, I think we've lost track of something important.  So much history that gets confined to the scrap heap of convenience and expedience.  I realize that this might turn out to be irretrievable - but I want to be the one to take one last crack at it.  I can't help it - it's hard not to be romantic about things like this.
