Hi, could you explain what is the torksmith watch all about?

well in late 1968 not long after head was released and while the monkees were filming their flop tv special "33 1/3 revolutions per monkee", peter tork decided to quit the band. for reasons thus far unknown, the other 3 monkees gave him a parting gift of a pocket watch with the engraving "to peter, from the guys down at work. 11.27.1968". and it cost 6 dollars and 95 cents (which is around 62 dollars now). the reason why it's called the torksmith watch is because it's commonly understood that the watch was mostly mike's idea, and because of the cheapness of the watch (relative cheapness, and also "the guys all pitched in") no one can understand if it was meant as a joke or not, and if it was a joke was peter in on the joke, and was mike behind the joke in a mean way or in an attempt to make light of the situation/make amends with peter last minute, and if it was sincere in that way then did micky and davy know about that aspect of it... a lot of mystery shrouding the watch and it's crazy because peter kept it for the rest of his life, to the point where he still had it when andrew sandoval was compiling the monkees day-by-day story in the early 2000s and, I quote, "proudly displayed" it to him. it's crazy!!! and a couple years ago tumblr users lesbianmikenesmith and lesbianpetertork did a little survey on the monkee community's views on the torksmith watch and the general consensus is that it all comes down to mike and peter's fucked up relationship and DID PETER KNOW IT WAS A JOKE OR NOT!!!!!!!!

also here are some posts for further reading: this one, and this one, and this one for sure.

and of course, the watch day hand covers bruise edit, and the torksmith mamma mia edit. thank you lesbianmikenesmith.
