Absolutely hilarious. 😂

I am wearing watches since my childhood, however the turning point for me was a Swatch Cadmos. After a music festival which I was in organisation team, our field crew have found this heavily damaged Cadmos and handed to me. After searching for the owner for a long time and being unsuccessful, it rested on my drawer one more year. After that, I decided to restore it and handed it to Swatch store for movement and glass replacement. Also changed the ruined bracelet with a plastic strap. In total, it costed me nearly a new Swatch Irony watch, however I somehow liked the idea of giving a second life to a lost watch. 

I was not into watchmaking, neither had the watch repair tools nor any knowledge at that time. But after reviving that watch, my collecting and watchmaking hobby slowly started to evolve. 

I still use it time to time, even with the original case scratches from that hundreds-of-people-partying-on-me day. 😂

Wow, although it is a simple idea, I never seen any watch with this... complication? Good for regulating, but what about beat error?
