WRUW Today?

Returned from a short vacation to find my backyard fountain overgrown with algae. Had to drain and clean it. The darn thing came with the house, and so far it has taught me that if you can’t afford to pay someone else to maintain your fountain (and I cannot), then you shouldn’t have one. I‘ve spent way too much of my weekends on this over the years.

Found this while cleaning the watch desk...popped in a new battery and its humming beautifully!

I feel a little uncomfortable wearing this watch in my rotation because it has no water resistance at all (box pushers and snap back case) and no shock protection (the early 321s did not have Incabloc balance cocks, not until 1945).

Normally, these things wouldn’t bother me too much, but this piece is different.

Even as a diehard ‘I won’t buy it if I won’t wear it’ lunatic, there are some watches I own that I’m preserving, instead of wearing. I guess this is about to be one of those.

Ah well, I’m enjoying its tour in the sunlight today.

Dibs please!
