A switch to near autumn like weather here in mid-coast Maine. Low 70 degree temps now brings out different watches as compared to the mid 90’s of last week. Seamaster 2848 in both sun and shade:

Even there? I’m in southern Alberta, Canada, north of Montana, and am noticing the changeover here too. Depressing it is because friggin winter isn’t far off. If only California was our 11th province😉

I heard our weather here in Maine is related to the hurricane. There are leaves already changing, however, so yeah, the fun is coming to an end.

A brief stay-at-home-holiday gives me a good reason to put another oldster on my wrist, this time my oldest (working) wristwatch ... an Elgin from their E-series (started in 1927), the model is called E-9 and this one dates to 1930.

I'll need to source a new hairspring some time, as the old one is a bit bent - so timekeeping is bordering on okay-ish, only. Compatible hairsprings are from the 428, 430, and 489 movements, I'll keep an eye out.

From Pforzheim with love 😁😁

My Laco sends salutations. Not a lot of the brand pop up on the OB. Laco began using Swiss made movements, switching to German made movements during WWII. Mine has a German made Durowe movement. Both movement and dial on my watch marked as FOREIGN, owning to negative feelings toward Germany after WWII.
