Pocketwatch questions?

[Dave_Seward]

Has anyone had a experience with turning pocketwatchs?
Are they difficult to assemble?
Are there people out there buying them?
What type of price range?

Super easy. Make sure your hole is exactly the right size as the watch faces slip right in. The have some catches on them to keep them in. You can use a chuck or buy the collet chucks for the correct size....1 3/8" I think.

Most of mine were given away, but I have sold a few in the $40 range.
