This seemed like the right place to bring the delicious AUREOLE that had just been delivered to me.
Have a great day you all.

And for those wondering, aureole refers to a halo of light or a circle of radiant light around a person or object, while areola refers to the circular area around the nipple on the breast.

Yes, I looked it up. 📖

Rainy day in Portugal so good day to hit the museums. From the the National Coach Museum in Lisbon.


Luv how the suspension elements progressed over the centuries. From long leather straps at each end of the coach...


...with cool looking 2-part leaf spring elements at coach corners.


To full coach length under-the-coach straps called "Berliner" style.


To my favorite...short straps used to connect to C-shaped leaf springs, standing up on end! YaY!

Older slow-set. And I'm in no mood to go around the dial 56 times to correct the date!

Sinn keeping on schedule at work. And the tegiment process is keeping remarkably pristine considering how many things I can bump into on set.

just got the crystal. Better

New additions. I had to remove the one good pusher on the Elgin as well as the broken one. It runs great. Rust gone. The astronaut is waiting for a crystal but cleaned up pretty well. Both dials are near perfect. I noticed too late that the Accutron is upside down. I'm guessing that will drive some of you nuts.

That was a dirty watch. This was my first Astronaut. The crystal and bezel are just friction fitted...and not terribly tight. It can't have any real water proof-ness. You can't ask for an easy crystal to replace.

1.5 months of vacation? I assume you aren't volunteering at the VA anymore. Any skating? Riding the Monkey?

Easier to just let it run down and wait a few days...
