Well, several times I've said 'That's modern, I've got the previosu model
still in use'. And no, I won't sell it...
I rememeber once seeing a mock-up of a watchmaker's shop in a museum in
the timekeeping seciton. I think I had every single tool displayed on
that bench at home -- not just similar tools, but absolutely identcial
ones. And yse, I do still use them.
