·If I had to choose of just one year of Omegas at those time, it would be 1958. Beautiful just stuff …

·Not much happening this weekend, so I'm celebrating past weekends.
Thankfully my wife talked me out of an M-dot tattoo. (She did not have to try very hard.) But Breitling doesn't sell a 38mm version of their Ironman Finisher Edition to fit my scrawny, triathlete arms. Fortunately, the original Ironman watch brand comes through with a fancy, stainless steel version of their OG Ironman watch, albeit technically JDM only. Not hard to acquire in the US, though.

·This one might have been worn by the original owner from its presentation date in 1977, upon his retirement, until his death in 2008. I acquired it for next to nothing because it wasn’t working, and the family didn’t want to repair it and keep it. I conditioned it and replaced the crystal. The gold filled case shows some brass, so it isn’t pristine, but performs beautifully. It has the F300 tuning fork movement in it. I now have 24 Accutrons, two Omegas, and one Certina, all hummers. Love them!

Late last week, while enjoying wearing the vintage Longines recently acquired from LesXL, I did that which is evil.
Anticipating a Texas "Norther" forecast for the region (otherwise hyped as a "Polar Vortex" by media), I replaced a cover over a hydrant after preparing a heated water bowl for backyard birdies. During the effort, the watch had oriented itself on the outside of my left wrist because I was wearing it loosely. The crystal snagged cruelly against the brickwork while adjusting the hydrant cover, resulting in a dreadful scuff with a deep scratch.
Working the crystal over with Mother's Mag Polish over a couple of days time, followed by a final polish with PolyWatch made the crystal whole again, if somewhat thinned so I am pleased to wear the watch to town for several engagements.
All better now!
