·This may be it’s inflight predecessor… Montine of Switzerland (circa 1960’s) 17 Jewels - Incabloc - rescued from a drawer of a old sewing cabinet at an antique shop.

·The bugs that Apple introduced (and have still not fixed) in watchOS 26 finally drove me away from my Apple Watch Ultra. The Workout app has simply become unusable. Thus the newest watch in my collection. I had been following the discussions and complaints on the TAG Heuer forums, so my expectations for the new TAG Heuer OS software were pretty low, but so far I've found the watch to be more than acceptable as a replacement. It's been my daily wear for a couple of weeks, but once the novelty ends, I expect it to take over the Ultra's role in my routine: mostly just used for workouts and for travel.

·Do you ever do that thing where you sell some watches and then, magically, others appear because 1) they popped up at auction cheap; and 2) you had $ in the watch fund?
The dangers of a saved eBay search that is "auctions, sorted by ending soonest, filtered to my local jurisdiction":
Vintage 70s(?) Ricoh World Timer that I picked up in what looks to be NoS condition (just needed a polish and 40 year old caseback sticker removed).
World map with Tokyo at 12 o'clock and a moveable inner bezel for the world time function. No actual independent GMT hand or "following" 24hr hand and moveable city bezel (like a Seiko world timer).

·Part 2 from this week of you ever do that thing where you sell some watches and then, magically, others appear because 1) they popped up at auction cheap; and 2) you had $ in the watch fund?
1968 Bulova Oceanographer "D" (the dressy one). Picked it up from an estate type downsizing thing (with some friends), not realizing that the bezel is 10k (minor win!). Leave it to late 60s Bulova to put a 10k bezel and nice Swiss movement inside a freakin base metal case...

·"I generally avoid temptation unless I can't resist it..." These Citizen Monacos are such an outrageous looking watches. It has wrong bracelet and the crown is wrong too. Citizen text text on dial has a something going on between E and N. Pushers are sticky and the oil left in the movement, if any, has probably dried up long time ago. But the chronograph starts, flyback works, case is in an honest(?) condition, and best of it all, watchmaker I use has a knack for these and has replacement parts ready to go.

·Minor watch buying spree yesterday.
All seller pics
Roamer 44 Jewel Stingray
Bulova 23 Jewel
Nivada Antarctic Aqualine
And a Ladies Citizen 21 Jewel Automatic because I have the exact male counterpart and wanted a matching set.
Needs a new Mineral Glass which will be difficult to find but every one likes a challenge .....right??
The strap, case and clasp on this are in superb condition but the glass lens looks like they wore it on the footpath! total right off, you can't even tell its a multi profiled segmented lens anymore, ouch !

·A nice Fulton. Paired it with a bracelet that apparently was waiting for this day and a new match.

·I hate it when this happens 🤦♂️ So I found the Citizen Monaco 8110-901107-Y chronograph with golden/yellow(Y) dial at the end of Feb. And obviously only then started to sort of dig into what had I purchased (I mean I wasn't a complete stranger to 81** movement / Citizen Monaco, but...).
This watch was (presumably) available only in green and golden dial variants. And low and behold, while digging in, I bump into a green dial ref 8110-901115-KA which I thought wasn't a total bargain, but not completely unreasonably priced either and in considerably better condition than the Y variant. And why have one, when you can have both... 🤷♂️
P.S. That’s how it’s done, @G___, @clockoclock ;-)
