I can't help it. This watch on an overcast day is a dream.

After wearing the Speedmaster on all weekend this “Jumbo” Seamaster, with its 36.5mm case diameter, is feeling a bit on the small side.

It’s still one of my absolute favorites though!

Spoiled for choice of watches on the correct date to wear from my watch boxes today.

Phew...just got home. Totality in New Castle, IN was great. High whispy cirrus clouds did not hamper visibility of the sun's corona with the naked eye.
This is a terrible picture because automatic settings overexpose so much it ruins the eclipse, but with binoculars I was able to spot a small looping flare or prominence at the 6 o'clock side of the sun. Also I think it was Venus that popped right out to the right of the sun (not shown in this pic). At least the pic shows the sunset-ish colors at the horizon...horizons all-around.


Then came the price to be paid. Only about 4.5 hour drive to totality...but 9 hours of eclipse traffic on the return... No regrets though, YaY!

Happy birthday

6602-8050 made, according to the search engine, in April 1970 - and still 'runs like clockwork'.

The drive from SE Illinois just sucked! The two beers I had didn’t help. What a great experience despite logistics.
