This one's been through the meat grinder a few times, but still happy to have it back on the wrist

Edit: experimenting with saturation and contrast

I used to be an Omega guy too, but now I don't own a single one 🙁

Back to the Dynamic, sorry archive pic as Scottish weather is not that great. Perhaps not so popular amongst the purists but an extremely comfortable piece. Enjoy what is left of your weekend 👍

Finally got a (Fluco) clip on strap for my CWC reissue chrono. It's nice not to have to glue anything, but I do wonder how solid it will be in the long run.

Wow! Has the dial been retouched? If not, dibs! 🥰

I realize this isn't the photo forums, but what are your preferences for a point a shoot camera such as Canon that takes quality macros? I'm looking at a Canon Powershot Elph 830 HS. What I have now is no longer sufficient. Even taking this poor photo took some effort.

After reading the Roger Smith article on Hodinkee, and seeing non-speedy vintage 321 chronos getting some love, I proudly wore this today

Wow! Has the dial been retouched? If not, dibs! 🥰

Unfortunately, the dial has been partially re-lumed; You may have noticed that the luminous dots at 1 and 7 are much lighter than the other hour markers.
Story Time: When I had this watch serviced for the first time, the watchmaker apparently fiddled with the dial posts, god knows why, causing some of the lume to fall off. This was the last straw for me in regards to New York city watchmakers after years of mediocre work from them, and I have since forsaken the use of their services. But I digress. The watch was subsequently sent to a trustworthy watchmaker because it wasn't functioning properly, but for some reason he re-lumed the missing 1 and 7 markers when I had asked him not to. Not a huge deal since the rest of the dial is in an un-refinished, original state, but the re-lume job could have been done better IMO. Despite all of this, I've learned to love this watch for what it is and accepting the watch's "imperfections" serves as a small step in overcoming my OCD 😎

You may retract your dibs if you'd like 😜
