Spent all morning with the Shameless Hussy at the auto dealership getting warranty work done and routine maintenance and nobody knew she was a re-dial!

Zodiac “Glorious” today, OORAH! Sending to my Devil Dog middle son for his birthday.
Awesome gift for a Marine! Thank him for his service! My oldest is a Cobra Pilot stationed at Camp Pendleton… where is your Marine ?

Overcast, gray and just started raining. I'm sitting on the steps leading up to my front porch listening to the rain hit all the Rhododendron leaves. It's a beautiful day.

Leave it to my son to join the Marines and find love in a foxhole. He and his wife are both officers at Pendleton, infantry and cyber, respectively.

Many thanks for your son’s service.

Cheers!

Perhaps so, but you’re wearing the wrong Rolex for mowing. You need this one:

I have many “hummers”, mostly Bulova Accutron 214 and 218 models. I have one Omega F300 model with the ESA tuning fork movement, and I also have this Eterna with the ESA f300 movement in it. This one has about the strongest character of any of the hummers. One of two I’m wearing today. I don’t wear this one much as it suffers from a typical f300 problem. The calendar doesn’t work. I need a metal date dial for it. I’ve heard these are available. Anyone know a source?

Send it to Paul. https://electric-watches.co.uk/
He replaced my eterna sonic date wheel with a metal one. He’s very reasonable and good at repairing these watches and seems to have parts for them too.

This just in. It looks much better in the flesh than it did on EBay.

I tried to get one, but was told there is a 2 year wait. I can't wait that long to mow the lawn. 😀

I haven't worn this one in quite a while. Why? Because the setting stem separated from the main watch mechanism and I keep putting off driving on the dreaded 405 Freeway from the San Fernando Valley, to Beverly Hills where my preferred watchmaker is located. So I set an alarm this morning for a few minutes before the time that my watch had last stopped at, then restarted it by rocking and rolling the winding rotor. And voila!

I had forgotten how comfortable this watch+bracelet combo is 😀
