Already 100 deg. out here. Hope it doesn’t melt!

I’m wearing my moonswatch today. I like them. I just read another article attacking them followed by a bunch of comments of general hate. I know it’s been discussed adnauseum so I won’t drag it out but I don’t get it. They obviously had no negative impact on omega and I know two people who are happy as hec they got one as they always wanted an omega just couldn’t spend the money on one. I think that factor is cool. And for me it’s just a cool quartz I can put on. I still need to upgrade the strap. I’m always looking for something different and the moonswatch fits the bill. If you don’t like something don’t get it. There are plenty of things I don’t like I just don’t rant about them as my opinion really means little and if anything.

The "town watch" choice for today, an Illinois No. 606 Capitol model, 21-jewels, three adjustments from 1920 with the neato "Red Dot" vitreous enamel dial.

New shirt. I love airliners from bygone eras, especially Constellations and all flying boats. Airplanes worthy of a Mad Dog to pilot them!

Who is the handsome bastard you had stand in for you?

Yeah right Walrus.

You just said your opinion really means little, heh!

Interesting, you found one identical to mine but a Sporto not a Surf. Does it say Surf on the case back by chance? Such a good looking watch!

Thanks! Yours was my inspiration, and then I pulled the trigger on this one. I think the Surf and Sporto were both sold around the same time, though yours has the newer logo? Somewhere else I read that mine was possibly a Martel design since Zenith didn't like to put the beat rate on the dials. There are just numbers on the back. I was planning to post some questions on the Zenith forum here.

Sundowners with Old Red..

An absolutely stunning day today

I think I have worked out where the scratch on the crystal of Old Red may have come from last week. I suspect the pointy end of my little mates beak might have made contact.
