Out of the 3 in the series I have done this was definitely of better quality as the jewels were actually real jewels (not plastic thin things like in the others)

For me I was impressed that they actually jewelled where the centre wheel sits as they didn't have to.

Not exactly sure what relevance the colour of your skin is in this but I think you missed the point.

Most thefts are based on opportunities, wrong place wrong time.

I have laughed and stressed at this point many times.

Why anyone doesn't think that they have a please rob me badge on while rocking the Pagooni is a bit naive.

Some thieves stab first, take second. Let that sink in 👍🏼

I have many videos showing hand placing etc, not with that movement you speak of though.

Thanks for watching and your feedback 🙂

8/10 I do replace but if something is in really good condition why replace it?

If it is even slightly unflat when it's out then I will replace it. (hence the 8/10 times)

I don't always removed the crown from the stem but this was a bit of an extreme watch gunked up.

Regarding the springs, it depends what I get sent. Some are new new like you mentioned but some are definitely nos, this one was for sure as the oil was dried up and looked bad. The spring was good just needed cleaning.
