I totally get what you mean about the charm of mechanical watches. There is something special about the ticking and each watch's unique sound. It's a bit sad that digital watches have taken over the market, and the charm of the old mechanical ones is slowly being lost. I also understand why you don't wear any jewelry when working with guns or electronics. It's better to be safe than sorry. However, if you ever do decide to sell or pawn any old watches, you might want to check out New Bond Street Pawnbrokers (
