A small Explanation for why I'm not accepting that repair fund...

Guys:

You don't know how kind you guys are. But I know that if you make a "Repair fund" I'll blow it all on my Grail: An Omega Seamaster (Like Pierce Brosnan's) I've been saving for a while now. But I still more money. I know that the minute your money comes into my hands... I'll start browsing on Zales or eBay for that SMP300. And as much as I want that Omega... I can't do that because my conscience will not let me live with it. So I'll get out of this myself.

Gaby

Gaby - we can easily send the donation directly to a competant repair guy - you will never see a dime - and have no chance to spend the money.

All that will happen is you will mail the carcass away and one day open a box with a nice shiny repaired Datejust in it...

(and my finger slipped - ignore the angry face - substitute this)

Gaby - get in touch with an independant watch repair guy from the board and get a real estimate for repair...

That will only cost you postage.

Then if it is not a $3,000 repair - we all send $1.30 to your repair guy so he gets $1 from each of us. (probably looking at $300-$400 from an independant)

That my young friend is not charity, it is friendship.

Good point. Do they have Sam's Club down under? You can get a box of 16 sausage mcmuffin type sandwiches for something like $ 8.50 I buy them for a quick office breakfast - they have something like 240 calories so I don't ruin my studly figure. 1 minute on each side in the microwave.
