Elsewhere on the message board I introduced my 135 year old sterling silver English pocket watch by Stewart Dawson, Liverpool, and the 66 gram sterling silver Waldemar pocket watch chain that came with it. I have decided to add a fob to the chain. My spouse has gathered numerous Canadian silver coins of 50 cent and $1.00 denominations, over the years. I have appropriated a 1953 Canadian 50 cent coin from her hoard, and today, I bought a coin frame for it, and added it to the chain. 1953 was the year of the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II, so this was the year she replaced her father George VI on Canadian coinage. The coin frame is gold, not silver, but I was astonished at how difficult it is locally, to buy coin frames for Canadian currency!

I bought this at the new Omega Boutique in San Francisco recently. I know I paid a lot more that it is really worth but they did toss in a box of Omega chocolates and a copy of the NTTD Omega Lifetime magazine. 馃檮

French advertising card from 1964. Love the colours, probably will end up framed near my watch drawer.

Very easy to use this tester..

Your lift angle is set wrong - should be 50 degrees, not 52.

These are ":easy to use" but to get good information out of them, you still need to understand what the correct parameters are, and set them properly.

I bought a house...which is related to watches in that my watch budget is essentially $0 for the foreseeable future...or until the AD gives me a call that my Ed White has arrived...
