·Isn’t it the 16th today?
OK, half-lucky day. Normally if it's a day ahead I can correct that by leaving it face up overnight and the date won't advance. Face down and it will. But the demon on the treadmill inside who makes it go round decided to annoy me by changing the date when it's face up this week. Add to that it does not have quickset date and I do not do the +1 hour -2 hours trick on a 50 year old movement that notoriously had problems when brand new.
Still love it though 😉

·I bet the dates on my watches are wrong more than they're right!
I only have two other analogue watches with date. They are both quartz and very rarely worn -- in my defence one is a dressy Seamaster and no-one invites me to dressy events now 😜.
Years gone by I did wear a little aluminum [*] monthly calendar on the bracelet of my only watch. Sorry, can't find a larger pic:
In the 1970/80s these could be picked up as give-aways at trade exhibitions. 12 USD for a year now (+shipping I suppose).

[*] Was living in the USA at the time, so local spelling.

Sometimes the tachy ring looks black like coal and other times white like snow, but mostly it is a silvery gray.

·After peforming the Mitsukoshi modification it's been used a few occasions only.
I like very much the Mitsu dial with the Snoopy strap and Omega deployant clasp....but not as versatile as the speedy black face..

··Home For Wayward WatchesI love "liking" what I like in WRUW, but it's a chore catching up "likes" after being offline for a spell.
Aged parents constantly require care and tending, especially doctors' visits. Some days were spent afield for turkey and wild hogs on two different hunts. On Saturday morning April 6th we suffered a direct hit lightning strike. Only got back online yesterday after the ordeal. Computer was partially damaged and modem, cordless phone base, clothes dryer, and IPhone charger all were fried. Worse and worse, from a personal point of view, the Kenwood receiver/amp of ancient lineage gasped for a few moments afterward then completely died away.
No stereophonic sound, no tunes!!! Gotta have tunes! The old Bose office CD player is just isn't cuttin' the mustard.
No watches were harmed in the over-current electric discharge event. My grandmother's 1952 Western Electric 500 phone, which is kept as a bit of whimsy on a phone shelf in the hall, shrugged it off, shook its receiver at the sky and disdainfully harrumphed: "That all ya' got?" So, once service was restored we have a telephone. Strange how readily an old geezer and geezette can re-adapt to a rotary dial.
