Today we have what looks like an untouched IWC caliber 89 from 1964 on the bench. Join me for a stripdown and service of this beautiful piece of watch history as we struggle to see any marks of anyone working on this watch before!
As always we'll go on a couple of detours, including a sequel to Mean Girls and an assessment of the durability of New Year's resolutions.
