Put on the rubber strap because it’s suddenly blazing hot in LA... just in time for a home workout.

100 today. How about a walk about in the desert
Creosote bush. Grows everywhere, has some shiny green leaves and interesting sectioned branches

This one today, and for a long term test. My mid-1950s, grade 1623 (1952, one of approx 50,000 made, this one from the second last run of 15,000) 23-jewel Waltham Vanguard which may have had one year of use in its 68 years of existence. I am the third owner, and I have used it rarely, and I doubt that either of the first two owners used it at all. I serviced it on April 25, so this is the beginning of a long term test as I await the arrival of my new one piece “mystery braid” leather pocket watch lanyard being made by @DaveK . Dave may show a picture of his handiwork.


I wondered why I was having such a devilish time doing the fine adjusting on this a Waltham, on the 25th, and why it was 12 seconds slow this morning. After all, this is to be the subject of a long term test for accuracy. Well, I took another look at it today (26th), and discovered that one of the regulator curb pins was loose! As loose as a grade twoers incisor tooth! So today, it was back to square 1 regarding final adjusting. I am happy with the result, so now the accuracy test starts in earnest.

Why I joined OF - the $100 modded Seiko SKX that needed something real to keep it company...

Just fitted my new Uncle Seiko “1171 style” bracelet. Will size it tonight and wear it tomorrow. Thought I’d share a photo anyways.


Earlier today while working around the yard:

Stay safe and healthy everyone.
