We spent an afternoon with family at the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame and Museum in Waco, Texas. While there I spied this neato piece of espionage kit in a display. Protona is no watch at all, but rather the microphone component of the 1950s Minifon wire recorder. I had not seen one of these before.

There are a couple of complete kits on Ebay right now.

Given my belief that Longines dials and hands last a lot better than many other makes I can’t really comprehend what has happened to your watch. Was it interred with a previous owner?

Ha! I most certainly take it as a compliment anyway.😅

Djano, a lot of these things happened for the best.

There’s Shui Mo (ink wash), conventional.

There’s fire, unconventional.

and there’s that. 🤔


In this case, it had to be some sort of salty steamy randomly operated the charm & uniqueness.😄
Underneath, the newly serviced machine ticks like a pony.

Well, I'm "pooch-mouthed" this morning.

Got on the Forum to "like" watches in WRUW for fun and frolic and when I make a "like" attempt I get the sad eyed Cat of Doom telling me a server error has occurred.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

It's obvious that Fish70 isn't experiencing it.

Nor is Lou P.

I think y'all are just showing off and rubbing my nose in it.

I was getting that as well. I'm still getting the same error message when I try to post a photo.

Weird!

I apparently can "like" comments, but cannot "like" posts having photographs in them.
