Not so many can do MuDu Monday, especially here in the Great State of Texas. Feel fairly confident that this is the only one ticking merrily in the state today.

Not too often one can say it's rained in mid west Texas in mid August but it was still sprinkling earlier this morning after an all-night rain, after an all weekend precipitation event which has brought welcome cooler temperatures with it.

Why is it, the more we wear a well worn, vintage watch the warmer it starts to look? Is it simply because it is ours or is it a real thing?

If only I could find a bezel for this , so it's only worn in the house briefly which is such a shame .

It wouldn't seem right to like that. I can only sympathise with the obvious distress and hope it isn't too bad.

Oris. How that brand has changed over the decades. If you are interested in the humble beginnings of Oris as a brand, check out the thumbnails on the Ranfft archive. Back in the day, Oris was a brand was aimed at the “popular”price ranges (read “cheap”!). Some pin lever, low jewel counts, Rocker bar winding systems. They were still a cut above some of the other brand offerings in and around their price range. Obviously, somebody bought the name and any good will that came with it, and turned it into the brand we see today.

Wabi-Sabi ..... Its the essence of why vintage is so compelling.
In traditional Japanese aesthetics, wabi-sabi is a world view centered on the acceptance of transience and imperfection. The aesthetic is sometimes described as one of beauty that is "imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete". It is a concept derived from the Buddhist teaching of the three marks of existence, specifically impermanence, suffering and emptiness or absence of self-nature. Characteristics of the wabi-sabi aesthetic include asymmetry, roughness, simplicity, economy, austerity, modesty,
