Channeling memories of the 1976 Canadian Grand Prix....


Those were cool cars. Tyrell? It was before my time but I like them.

My watch today at (but not in) the pool.

Indeed, it's the Tyrell T34.

1873 Illinois Hoyt with a whopping 9 jewels. Proof that a watch doesn't have to have a high jewel count to last.
Yeah but its only half a golf course!

Now that you mention it... I'm surprised that Rolex never marketed a 18 jewel "Golf King." The only watch capable of withstanding the massive G forces produced by middle aged fat men swinging their drivers.

Don't worry I am sure their marketing department scrutinizers this forum daily, expect a Golf Master (GMT) next year!

1967 Bulova Diamond Excellency B, bought at a true junk shop last year. Sourced the OEM faceted crystal and had my watchmaker install it Friday. I seem to be a magnet for these mid sixties 32mm Bulovas, but i love 'em. I think this will make a sharp little dress watch under a cuff and suit jacket.

An 18-jewel Rolex? Been there, done that!
Rolex really missed out on marketing the Prince as a doctor/ golfer's watch. Wear it in the office, wear it on the links.

I always suspected the monolith was a Japanese creation. And regarding golfers, I don't think you're being fair. They are not ALL middle-aged.
