··Most fun screen name at ΩFBack at the end of August I posted this picture for WRUW taken in a hallway at a local Emergency Department:
I'd suffered a pretty severe trauma to my left hand and wrist. I followed some really bad instructions to enter a garage. Ouch!
About a month in I was at the "Jason meets The Mummy" stage:
Today, a couple of days short of 6 weeks into this thing I was just able to strap a watch on my wrist with the longest strap I have.
I apologize if anyone is squeamish about this stuff, but I'm so pleased to be rid of the splint I just need to share. I've still got a LONG way to go. Even though the edema is reduced my hand and wrist is still very swollen. The pisser of all of this is I'm a bracelet guy; none of my bracelets - not the Forstners, not the Bonklips - will fit over my hand. My hand is still unusable so I cant swap bracelets for straps. Aaarrrggghhhh!
Anyway, I have visited this thread and vicariously worn watches with you guys. Thanks for sharing.
First picture is from a while back, I don't post many pictures of my Khaki here despite it being a much worn watch; a beater if you will. Note how close the tips of the lugs are to the edges of my 7.5 inch wrist:
This is a 38mm case IIRC
Looks like a 33 here:
Strap all the way out
I can't tell you how badly I have missed my watches.

·Guess which one, today.
You may have your suspicions.
Go to the head of the class if you guessed right. My manual wind, day/date Gruen 512CD from circa 1965. It had very little use before it was retired, to repose in sad looking condition for about 45 years, in a drawer of scrap watches. Seeing beyond the ratty crystal and the tarnished gold plated case, I thought it had potential. I love it!
