Got my little junk shop LeCoultre serviced. I still question why I did as I may use it as trade or sale locally but I am becoming fond of it I’m pretty sure it’s my only non chrono with a subdial second hand and I always liked that look. See what happens I’ll just enjoy it for now. I can only wear non date watches on the weekends or I screw up all my paperwork at work.
We are headed away camping for a few days next week. Time to swap my Accutron Spaceview for another victim er watch. This time it is my 55 year old vintage Caravelle transistorized date model. Movement made in Japan. This watch was offered at a time when Hamilton was still trying to flog the electro-mechanical Hamilton Electric at 3 times the price of this Caravelle. The Caravelle was a vastly superior watch!
A necessary evil of my Job as an Ops Manager at FedEx. When I was an Admin working inside the office I could alternate between my Speedmaster Co-Axial and Rolex GMT Master II BLRO, but out on the dock moving packages, moving delivery vans and jockeying trailers in the yard, I need something smaller and disposable. These days it's my Apple Watch or a Casio G-Shock.
Note the "Close Your Rings" band, available only to Apple employees. I had to pull some strings to get it, including reminding some folks in Cupertino about past services rendered (long story). 😀
