So very sorry to hear of your mother's passing, RIP.
So sorry... Courage
Condolences dougiedude, at this time of your loss. Thank you for honoring us by sharing your loss with us.
We could tend to forget what is transpiring day to day in Forum members’ lives behind the watch photos that are featured in WRUW.
Evening with the Ultraman,
New accessory arrival: One of the lovely mahogany boxes that came with some of the Megaquartz 2400 Marine Chronometers and later cal 1343 Quartz Chronometers from the 70s. The mahogany with brass inserts resembled the cases of actual ships chronometers. My thanks to Greg @gbesq for reaching out and letting me acquire it from him.👍
My cal 1511 OMC looking at home...YaY!
This one is missing the insert used for holding the watch, but if I can find a similar velvety material, I should be able to make a halfway decent one myself. The late Tom Dick had done this for one of his.
In other, weirder news, I found an opossum taking its daytime nap under a grill cover. 😲 When it goes out foraging tonight I'll clean up the area and make less hospitable for the return. 😜
