Argh! It's Called A Clamshell Case For A Reason

I recorded this back in July. I was so embarrassed by it at the time that I never edited it. Now I think it's funny and instructive. Tomorrow I'll probably be embarrassed by it again.

I did completely polish out the scratches on the case, cleaned up the hands, got a seconds hand on it, and this watch is now on my list for a full revision and hairspring / balance assembly repair.

Don't bother commenting that I need to purchase a 1,006 Chf Bergeon 5700-BP case back opening tool. I'm not going to do that. The problem with this case is I had the front and back reversed - and being a very cheap case, they are slightly different diameters. And of course not looking closely enough and finding the pry point.
