It's Thanksgiving in the US today. I have many, many reasons to give thanks; I have good friends, a family that pretty much gets along and a solid marriage to beautiful woman that produced a fine son. I have work that not only supports me in a comfortable fashion but I find it meaningful and engaging.

I don't engage much socially on the ether but I have this forum and one other, a cycling forum. I give thanks for both as they open windows to other people that otherwise I would have not had the wonderful opportunity to interact with. Thanks to all the folks here that have given me advice, knowledge and humor - you are princes and princesses (not enough princesses but what we have is Quality). Thanks to the forum owners for giving our community a little real estate in the ether, it's priceless.

I also give thanks that I have this beauty and several others, what a fascinating pastime these timepieces be.

Completed the traditional Wild Turkey 5 Mile Run on this frigid morning. What the hell was I thinking???

Then, it was time to upgrade to the IWC Pilot Chrono. Dial looks blue in the sunlight, which is not helping the frigid temps:

Happy Thanksgiving!

I picked out my 6298 to wear on this Thanksgiving day.

DAMN that’s pretty! And the strap that matches the lume??? Well played!

Well said.

Whether in the U.S. and celebrating Thanksgiving or not, regularly taking the time to count one's blessings is a good habit to cultivate. It makes for a happier, healthier and spiritually richer life.

Wishing you all health, happiness, good spirit and friendship. Cheers!

The three mainstays of my current lineup.

Ed, CB and Lemania-Omega Speedymoon.


Ed is on my wrist at the moment. I slept with CB last night. Ironically, the Lemania-Omega Speedymoon is probably my favorite watch overall: it keeps much better time than any Speedmaster and has been repaired to be water resistant, unlike any of the vintage Speedmasters I wear. And because it was relatively cheap on eBay, I don’t worry about it when I wear it, the way I sometimes do with the fancy stuff. And, of course, it is beautiful and unusual.


Adjusted to five positions. (Photo from before service.)

@Hijak : Tell me more please. Dial has lume and looks completely original but there’s no ‘t’s around Swiss Made. That should make it around ‘62 or a little earlier. But I hadn’t seen a Deville chrono that early.

Reference number and serial number pretty please?
Dibs, pretty please, as well if it’s a ‘62. (I’ve started a small collection of ‘62 Omega chronographs.)

It’s gorgeous!
