Recently, I saw on foreign website that some people were making the vintage Panerai watches by themselvers and sold them with a sky high price, the skill is like playing a steel ball model (better with a modeling background) adoping with a little knowledge of movements, simple polishing and electroplating techniques and tools, surely, a bit of luck is also indispensible, because the pocket watches with Cortebert 616 (= Rolex 618) and Angelus 240 movements are not so easy to get. If there is any, the situation must be that a bunch of players rushing to bid on eBay. Let’s illustrate it by figures. 1.
