Capital Area Watchmaker and Clockmaker Guild Central Texas Affiliate Chapter - American Watchmakers-Clockmakers Institute (AWCI), www.cawcg.org Meeting Date & Time President’s Message Tuesday, June, 26, 2012 Dear Guild Members and Friends, Dinner: 5:00 PM – 6:00 PM Program: 6:00 PM My odometer is clicking up and the physicians recommended a full service this year. I underwent a procedure yesterday as the final step. They told me Location they would fix things while they were in there if Pok-E-Jo’s Smokehouse anything was needed. I read and signed lots of 2121 Parmer Lane (near Metric Blvd.) papers. The good news when I woke up was that everything looked real clean and nothing was done or Austin, TX needed. So today I am a happy guy, ... a clean bill of Phone: 512-491-0434 health as they say. http://www.pokejos.com The automotive industry is big on these regular interval service checks for oiling and lubrication, "A Service", and "B Service", typically at 15K mile intervals. Do you recommend this or do it with your timepieces? I wonder how many people do it? 5%? 10%? More often than not, I guess we run things until they stop or break and then take them in or throw them away. Watches and clocks have gotten to the "disposable" device level ... "Ain't worth fixin'". We can see and recognize those pieces that are worth caring for regularly, so where possible, recommend that win-win. "Bring it back in 1 or 2 years", or whenever our "15K mile intervals" are. I hope to see every one of you on Tuesday, June 26th. I look forward to an awesome mini, live auction, to Program continue to raise funds for our Guild and live out our mission.
