Don't know if they're worth $125, but definitely worth more than $20. Yeah, I’m thinking that the cufflinks above would be a bit more expensive than $20 and minimal metalworking skills.

She said it is possible that some of them are functional but not guaranteed. Verdict Working clockwork=probably worth $125 non-working decorations you can make your self with minimal metalworking skills for about $20=definitely not worth it.

Now THAT would be pretty darn cool. I couldn’t tell from Red Envelope, but I wonder if the clockworks actually run. Now THAT would be pretty darn cool.

Scored those when the Athlon first launched, years upon years ago. Never have had a chance to wear them, though.

Obviously not an exact knockoff of that item, but there are enough leftovers in my workshop that could be made into clever cuff links. If I wore a suit. Or a shirt with the requisite French cuffs.
