Today, and for the next few weeks. My 52-year old Accutron 214 of which I am the sole owner. Had it since 1964. This is a sentimental favourite because it is the watch I wore on our wedding day, April 16, 1966. It shows on my wrist in our wedding photo, albeit on a strap rather than a bracelet back then. Fifty years married! Not a record, but better than average. Still married to the same girl!
One of the best posts. Huge congrats.

What, no Rothco!!
Not today! I'm on a day off from working at the donut factory...so no Rothco. The Rothco is traditionally for the donut factory and the gym. 👍

I'm on a day off myself today, day 2 of 4. Spending some quality time with the family. Enjoy it!!

I love how the dial reflects the yellow bus to my right 1b902706bf0df8ff75418c627bb1a800.jpg

Truly good news, sir...50 years of marriage...very admirable! 👍

A sincere "bravo zulu" is in order! 👍

Nice watch too! 👍

Thanks to you all for your much appreciated salutations. She's just as much of a treasure as she was when I met her 53 years ago. And the Accutron still 214 runs like new. It should! It's on its second tuning fork, third index wheel, and third circuit assembly.

I had to Google Bravo Zulu". Wikipedia says it's a naval term for "well done"! It has been fairly easy to achieve. She's a wonderful "intombi", which is Zulu for "girl"!
