I wore the lil' Subbie in the office for the first time today, figuring the funky strap, narrow bezel, domed acrylic, and lack of cyclops would allow it to fly well under the radar. I'm certain nobody noticed, or cared. 😀
Rating a newly restored Gilbert (Connecticut) jeweller’s regulator. Seconds beat, weight driven, eight-day, wall mounted clock usually used by railroad watch inspectors circa 1890-1900. What better to use as a time reference than my circa 1966 Bulova Accutron 214 Spaceview. Pendulum on this clock weighs 25 pounds! It goes home on Saturday along with a sizeable invoice. (I’ll be glad to see it gone!)
