Great shots of both handguns and watches! Keep them coming.
An appreciation for mechanical precision

I would sell every watch I've ever owned, or will ever own, for a good firearm. I totally don't get the watch thing. OK, if somebody gave me the most expensive (insert expensive timekeeper brand) in the world, I would use it for awhile and then sell it if I wanted a really nice firearm instead. All 3 of the watches I currently use cost a total of $0: one was a 20 year gift from work, and the other two were discards from acquaintances. The two discards I've been using for 15 years and replacing the bands as needed.
God bless the watch collectors. Hopefully they will sell me some guns cheap to feed their watch hobby. ;-)

Two of my favorites: a 4" revolver in 45lc and an Ocean 7, LM-2.

We're not just talking wristwatches are we?
A small part of Dad's Chelsea clock collection passed on to me. Threw in photos of WWII vintage Hamilton Deck Watch and Hamilton Chronometer.
Last photo is a New Jersey Tall Clock, Aaron Miller, circa 1770-1780. Don't know that it qualifies as a precission instrument it has been tic-tocking for a long time. Some of the works are wood.

PJ, beautiful, especially the Rolex & Omega.
Poco, I've heard good things about the Ocean 7. Professional -looking picture.
Kevin, I think few realize what you are showing us. I've wanted a classic brass 4.5" Chelsea Ship's Bell for years. Wonderful collection! The Chelsea in pic 4 is breath-taking. And your last pic, of the Aaron Miller ... where ever did you get that?
I have a couple of mechanical clocks I might take pics of, but they pale in comparison. Clearly, gun and hourology enthusiasts are OCD.
