Roger that…it’s double dog Hammy railroaders for today…950 and 950 B respectively…

I've been wearing one of my early Model 1 Illinois this week, maybe I should change it up and put on a 950 next week.

Equal representation! Lots of U S made railroad standard watches. Why not a Swiss one? My Louis Brandt & Freres, 19-jewel, lever set, motor barrel, grade CCR. Railroad approved in Canada. I have two of these.

I have no freaking clue…

Well, you'll be showing the correct time 20 times a day, so not too bad!

Yeppers…see below…I only have one Waltham (a Vanguard 1908, top row center). I do have three Illinois (two Bunn Specials and one A. Lincoln, bottom row center moving right). What about Rockford? I have no Rockfords!

NOTE: Absent is my Elgin B.W. Raymond 494…it’s at the local watchmaker getting its wind indicator adjusted.

I have no Rockford either!

What are we gonna do about it?

Get more pocket watches! That’s what!

For the record, those Hammy railroaders were good for spirited Honda Monkey riding today…

I've been remiss and haven't popped back into this thread since I started wearing my 950 this past weekend.

@Waltesefalcon has me short of a follow up to his Hamilton 950 post. I’m trailering at the moment, and my pocket watches are all cossitted safely in my storage vault. Out of sight, but definitely not out of mind! So I’ll have to show my Hamilton 950 which I am not wearing. I’ll do @Waltesefalcon one better, though. I’ll show the outstanding 23-jewel 950 movement. Note the Canadian 24-hour dial.

You look like a highway patrolman in training. They start you on a minibike, and next you'll have a moped with a flashing light.
