I will defend your right to destroy watches but you should know that the watches you destroy keep me from getting parts to fix other old watches. You may know better than to destroy decent watches but most of the people who perpetrate this horrible behavior, as evidenced by the video, don't know a good watch from a water heater. I have seen steam punk made from very good watches. The only way to keep good watches from being destroyed is to tell the perps what they are doing every time you get a chance and make sure you and your friends.....

....DON'T BUY STEAMPUNK!
