@mikeflstfi I had a question on watches, do they still use Real jewels for the gears (Ruby's Sapphires) or are they lab made? Cuz if they are they are a POS
@SupplySgt
They’ve been using synthetic rubies since the early 20th century. So, more than 100 years.
@SupplySgt
I’m currently working on one from 1908 and it’s amazing how well they hold up.
@SupplySgt
This one is only a 7-jewel model. A working man’s watch. I have a railroad grade watch with 21 jewels, too.
These are both pocket watches.
@mikeflstfi bet they are cool
@mikeflstfi that is beautiful
@SupplySgt
Thanks!
@mikeflstfi very Cool, how many jewels?
