Today, a 1960s Candino "Ambassador" -- a "freebie" that was included in an auction lot I purchased years ago for one particular watch. It's powered by a twenty-five jewel ETA 2472 adjusted to six positions. The movement was state of the art for the 1960s, and was capable of chronometer-grade adjustment. I don't know if this one was so adjusted, but it keeps incredibly accurate time. Cheers!

Longines Conquest with a salmon skin strap. I can now see with a closeup that the second hand isn’t original (different colour gold)

Salmon skin strap is a new one on me.

Exotic straps can be fun!

Oh, say it isn't so!!!

You're not mowing with a Speedmaster are you?!
I’m afraid to say that I have to admit I didn’t , Mrs CPR did the honours while I offered to pour her a glass of wine as a reward .

Lorus field watch after my GF borrowed it for a week on an exercise with the Norwegian national guard. She cracked the glass, so now I get to wear it again, war is hell! I better start looking for a sapphire in stead.

Happy Speedy Tuesday!

Seems like She needs to learn how to set the date and I need new glasses.

And since you consigned this watch to an active member of the military, you can now consider it as "issued" !

Dude…I’ve been to that 7-ELEVEN at DFW…probably the nicest 7-ELEVEN in the entire solar system! Also, it’s the only 7-ELEVEN that I’ve ever seen at/in an airport!

That’s right.
Where else are you going to get wings, heat-lamp hot dogs and Copenhagen dip for your next flight and all inside an airport terminal?
