I wore my sacrificial Seiko over five days away, trailering in the Rocky Mountains. Back to civilization, and a more civilized watch. I wear this one only rarely as it looks pokey on my big wrist. This is a Rolex Oyster Royalite Observatory from 1939. Manual wind, Oyster case, 18-jewels, adjusted to six positions, temperature, and isochronism. Movement by Aegler for Rolex. This was one of the best for that era. Still pretty good.

Congrats with the Speedy anniversary!
And please do share your story why you have named the watch the Creeper??
😁
Thanks.
Nothing very exciting, after a few years of ownership it developed the hour sub register creep. It took me a while to get it serviced and rectified so it gained the name of the Creeper.

All serviced and good now but still the Creeper to me

Got a late start this morning in our yard work. So, we were pummeled by the heat.

Caterpillars on Mrs. noelekal's new Butterfly Bushes she's intending to plant in order to draw butterflies. Guess it works. They could have waited until we got the bushes in the ground.

Don't know if these are Monarch or Gulf Fritillaries. Probably Monarch caterpillars, but I need to look them up.

Aaahaa...
Thought maybe that it was some NASA/military hush-hush stuff!
🙄
But always nice to have a serviced Speedy!
Enjoy your Day!

A watch that does not seem to appeal to many but I must confess that despite the fact it was a surprise gift I do love it 🥰

I thought I would never say this, but it's crazy how time flies by. The twins are soon 1 year already, and first week of kindergarden is over.
