Bandit -- Thanks for the reference on Dr. Strange!  I actually hadn't seen that before now.

Derek -- Yep, it's cheapo "homage" components from different sources.   The ensemble barely qualifies as a WoodRiver compared to your real deal!

I recently saw a video of someone doing a complete restoration of a 1940's military watch.  This involved complete disassembly, removal of plating and scratches from the case, restoration of the crystal, plating of the case, and reassembly.  This person obviously was trained and experienced.  He also was very well equipped for these operations, but perhaps not unlike some people here who have developed high levels of skill without formal training or professional experience.
