Hi, I am trying to source an affordable copy or pdf of the: Illustrated Manuel of American Watch Movements. by the F.J. Swigart Co.

Many Thanks

USD 45 would be too expensive? https://www.abebooks.com/servlet/BookDetailsPL?bi=30411952989

BTW we have a dedicated section where is considered polite for new members to introduce themselves.

He signs himself MIke with location Norfolk. For most people that is sufficient introduction. I wonder how many are discouraged by being lightly tapped over the knuckles by jdm becaus they do not give their hair color and shoe size?
