How could "a stuck up idiot" possibly achieve 10,000 likes. It must be a conspiracy and I suspect foul play😁

My '58 Swedish 'bomb squad' watch was a hit at an Atlanta GTG last night:


I "liked" your pic and I love the watch - but please stop calling it "bomb squad". The Swedish army issued Lemania Tg 195 was never used by any bomb squad. It was used by the artillery - of all sorts - big and small.

Sometimes I see it is called a chronograph - which I believe is wrong also. It is a watch to easily syncronize time between users. Very handy in the artillery. Push the button and the watch stops, the seconds hand move to 12 - and at the same time the crown moves out to be ready to set the time. When the crown is pushed in - the watch starts again.

In many camps here in Sweden the Daytona is considered a girls watch. At one time it seemed almost mandatory for wealthy girls and women to have one.

I guess I am a little girly - and I am proud of it.

Love how this feels on the wrist. I think as much as our puppy loves his bone (antler bone we bought yesterday).
