I decided to externally clean the bracelet and polish the crystal of my Dad's 70s Seiko. He'd be proud. 😀 it's nicer than I've ever seen it.

Excellent job! Looks brand new. What did you use to clean it up?

Is that a new pickup for you? Looks great.

Thanks! It is. Now, I have to eat my words in the 'times are rough' thread where I was talking about holding off on new purchases.

A sale ad from Jomashop defeated my will power 😅.

Congrats never been but I find Norway an interesting beautiful country. I have a magician friend who was in the U.S. for a while who was Norwegian, very nice guy.

One of two today. One is my 34 year old Rolex Date-Just, and this one. My 58 year old survivor Bulova 214 Astronaut. I bought the watch as a project watch, for peanuts, about 35 years ago, knowing it needed work. I bought the Kreisler “coffin” bracelet with the Accutron buckle, separately, at that time. I finally decided late last year, that I was going to resuscitate it. I had given up trying to return the original movement to health, so I serviced a replacement movement, and it now is a pleasure to wear. It gains a second or two per day, but I can live with that. I hope to eventually find a replacement dial for it, and that should solve the rest of its problems.

Also stopped by the Omega Boutique hoping to see the new railmasters, which aren't in yet. So I tried on a couple watches...



And went next door to try on a few more.



I was surprised by how much I like that bronze gold green titanium, this colorway in a heritage 300 would slay- and without surprise the ploprof fit me like a charm....

Thankful to have this one, though!
