First watchfair

[transporter]

Well I managed to get to a watch fair, pretty happy, no really happy with the day, some damn expensive stuff but that's to be expected. But happily loads of second hand tools etc to browse and buy, which I did, tweezers, mainspring winder, Arkansas stones, poising calipers, new oilers to name a few, traders really helpful and chatty with loads of information, so if anyone is a member of the southwest BHI I thank you for a well run day with me a mere hobbyist walking away extremely happy with a bag full of tools that would of broke the bank if I'd bought them new.

mind you I've just had to spend £53 on some L&R ultra fine solution from cousins, but with the savings at the watchfair I can swallow it haha.

Nice one, yep there was a few collectors at this one but prices weren't too bad, even went back after going to bristol to see if I could snaffle an ultra sonic cleaning machine that I had seen, everyone was packed up but managed to find the owner, I walked off after he asked £250 for it, to be fair it was a good one but used and untested.
