Taking the flightmaster to visit Tim Peakes Soyuz capsule... much smaller than the Apollo 10 command module they have here!
Wearing the Hamilton as I wait for the repair shop to open. I had my car shipped and besides the hood ornament being pulled off, the exhaust got bent and there is the smell of burning rubber and whiffs of smoke from the back end.
992E...ELINVAR = Elasticity Invariable (c. 1935) today...my second railroad grade pocket watch...acquired from within our family in 2016...
Pleased to see you wear your pocket watches on leather! Gold filled bows suffer a lot with metal fitments! And as you said in a previous post, you have insulated the dome fastener inside the pouch to protect the case and crystal. The watch shows its good keep from previous owners, and you have continued with good "watchkeeping " habits! Every antique and vintage watch should have the good fortune of being owned by someone like you!
Thanks I love this watch. You are getting me thinking about pocket watches. DD coffee occasionally. Strap is from David Boettcher in the U.K. Fun site and loaded with info. He does a great job. The watch is a bitch to remove from the strap but it gets even cooler:
