One of two on the wrist(s) today. My 38-year old Rolex Oyster Date-Just which was returned to service March 11, and as of today, has gained 19 seconds in 60 days! That’s about 1/3 of a seconds per day! The second watch is my manual wind Gruen Veri-Thin Precision from circa 1960. I am the second owner. The first owner was the late managing director for Gruen in Canada when Gruen folded. He never wore it, and I rarely wear it. He became managing director for Rolex in Canada.

Been wearing this Stingray tonight, just back from my Watchmaker late this afternoon.
Extensive repairs to get it back to standard, had a missing crown and smashed in case tube but luckily I had a new OEM Roamer crown and case tube in my stash.
When it was opened by my watchmaker ( these are mono cases) it had a bunch of rust around the winding pinion and gear but luckily I had a parts movement for him to rob though he had to manufacture a click spring, so repaired and serviced and looking like a million bucks with that late 60 70's vibe.

Zero wear through on the case so I am guessing it's sat in someone's drawer for many years, I bought it from a fellow collector who also had it sitting in a drawer for many years in the same condition I received it in.

Never seen a chocolate dialed Stingray before.

Roamer Stingray Mod 471-1230-600

Rainy day spent indoors washing up and cleaning my apartment. No worries with the screw down crown of the Komanderskie.

OOOooo...HamDoctor, that's a bit of a different Longines Ultra-Chron look. I like it!
