This is a cool Squale that I seldom wear. The date magnifier is really effective, and the root beer color combination is great.

Received the handmade @DaveK pocket watch lanyards...and let me tell you what...they’re pretty freaking fantabulous! One of the really cool things about them is that they allow your pocket watch to remain protected in the pocket while the belt loop button is either fastened or unfastened...this is important so as to minimize the chance of dropping the watch. Another really cool thing about them is that they smell like...VICTORY! 👍

Thanks, Dave...fantabulous lanyards! 👍

First go with the DaveK pocket watch lanyards on my Elgin Veritas 376 and Elgin B.W. Raymond 494 railroad machines...

@Mad Dog , those two watches are stunning. That the lanyards I made for you are fitting to be in league with them is an honour 😎. I might steal that line of yours for an advertising tag line “They Smell Like Victory!” 😝 That’ll be the Saphire Canadian I use, it is a final step that nourishes the leather and finishes it to prevent dye rub-off - and, it smells amazing. My wife doesn’t care for the scent of it, but to me, it’s catnip. Your post made my day 🙄. Enjoy them, and keep the pics coming!

@jB1128 , thanks you for the kind words! You bet, I would be happy to set you up.

This arrived at my door yesterday, which bodes well for the rainy weekend ahead



I was short-stocked some items (Covid’s fault, not Tandy’s I am sure) but hope to be picking up the remaining needed supplies this weekend. I’ll send you a PM with details.

With supplies soon in hand, I’ll get a FS post up shortly. Or, anyone can just PM me. Sorry for the thread drift here, please go back to your regularly scheduled programming 😉

Still carrying my 1952, grade 1623 Waltham Vanguard on my @DaveK mystery braid lanyard, which by the way is still consistently one second per day fast. Love the watch, love the lanyard, and love carrying the watch with complete confidence.

I started with this...

...but switched to this...

...so I could make use of the date function...

Back from Junghans US service center, DKSH. Gotta say, pretty easy folks to deal with, solid product knowledge, great communications and fast. Date function went bad.

Settling down for a read



A titbit from this issue for the Brits here: The proportion of the population who believe Cummings' explanation of his trip to Barnard Castle is the same as those who believe the Earth is flat.


Edit: For those not familiar with this publication it's not really about economics, it's 50% politics with a British base but excellent coverage of world-wide affairs.
