Pic from several minutes ago...Mad Dog and @ChuckMK23 setting up the Lionel USN flat cars with the Lionel USN UH-1D helos for the Christmas train...sporting our modern Speedy Gonzales Moonwatches...
Earlier, I substituted a spoof shot of Alfred E. Newman, instead of a picture of myself. But since so many of you have taken to contributing to this thread with a real photo, I will too. I had the honor of being selected as “Heritage Craftsman” by the City of Calgary Heritage Authority in 2012 as a result of significant work I did on the 1910 Seth Thomas 16A tower clock in our original City Hall. A grand soirée was held, and the numerous award recipients were asked to speak. Ms. C. shot this while I was giving my spiel. I have added a link which takes you to a video, of the award announcement on local television, and as part of the video, the Seth Thomas is shown. I am shown with my master machinist friend Trevor Beatson, both standing by the clock.
Hello Achim
Just a few years ago, better times.... The watch, unfortunately, is also not an Omega and not a Doxa, its a PP 3970, the last new watch I ever bought new (in 1986) .. and have sold in the meantime... Please note pants and socks!
Happy Xmas from Old Europe

Well here's me with wife number 1 age 20 in 1978.
And with wife number 2 age 35 in 1992.
And now, just two days ago chaps with wife number 3 age 60 in 2017.
Complete with my Dad's 105.012-65 getting me to the wedding on time.
As you can see chaps... losing 2 houses through 2 divorces has taught me FAKK ALL!😟
Nice simple afternoon with some, very nice, South Americans that I've never fakin well seen before.
That's me on the right with Robert-Jan Broer at the top of the Tokyo Skytree. I was participating in the Fratello Watches Grand Seiko Experience Japan tour in September of this year. It was a great experience spending five days with other watch nerds touring the various Grand Seiko venues and exploring Japan.
