OK, John . . . so I read the posting . . . enjoyed it a lot . . . thought of posting here and sending you the link . . . and then the phone rang, and I never got back to it.

All the while, I had not realized that you had written the posting!!

Well done and congratulations!!

Jeff

P.S. -- So where are we on finding me a decent American railroad watch, on a modest budget? Reading the posting rekindled the enthusiasm!!
