Yuuge night!
Wife in liquor biz. Sells Prince limited edition whiskey
I gave up drinking in 1988. December 9th to be exact. It's gotten easier and easier to say "no alcohol for me" all the time. For me it was the best - the only - decision that made sense. But sometimes I see a beautiful bottle of the golden nectar and I miss it. Just a little. Not enough to ever be tempted to take another drink. But I recall those moments, sitting in a big comfy chair by the fireplace, and that first sip of that magic in a glass. Nostalgia.

Hello again, another one for me

That's a good looking watch !
The hour markers are incised and gold plated right? That's what got me about mine.
Is it an ETA 2452? That's what mine is.
Don't know about the year though...

Got a holiday today and all of the things-to-be-done checked off the list already... ideal conditions to wear an "oldie" in the form of my 1940/41 Hamilton "Donald".

Hi, yes markers incised an gold plated. Movement I don't know because I don't have the special tool to open it. I must go to my watchmaker to open and take pics for. The first one has a movement cal. AS 1626

C-case love! This thread needs more of them. Don’t think I’ve ever seen two on the same page. Or even two a week.

Then you remember all the suffering caused by that poison dressed up all pretty. That’s the thing about nostalgia. The memory is always better than it actually was in the moment. Congrats on your continued sobriety brother.
