Blustery day on the North Sea coast. Same dog, same watch. (Holiday sloppiness - never got round to changing the watch or the dog )
On my wrist . . . . . . since Sunday. (Old photo - still haven't resolved technical issue with my iPhone.)
The second Monday of October is Thanksgiving Day in Canada. Happy Thanksgiving to OB members from north of the 49th.
This morning, Neo and I went to pick up a ring a local jewelry atelier. At the same time, check some necklace in preparation for Christmas
Among the things I give thanks for is having more than one watch to wear. Thanksgiving Day in Canada, today. I pulled this artifact out of my archives. Haven’t shown it here before, as I recall. Seamaster Cosmic 2000 automatic in a gold shell over steel case. Calibre 1012 movement. I am the second owner, having acquired it about 25 years ago. It has always been an erratic performer, so I went through it today, and this is its trial run. This artifact is likely from the early to mid-1970s, an era when this style of coloured dial was fashionable for men. Is there another watch company who would design and produce such a weird case. To uncase it, you remove the crown (two-piece stem), then the whole thing is pressed out of the case ring, after which you separate the case components to access the movement. A case I have never particularly liked.
