Actually, that was post 3000. When I joined OF I doubted I’d make 200 😀

"understated, laid-back, and unlike a brand new Submariner, it’s not an obvious choice, which I always find a bonus"

I deserve all of this...


...after this..
...Started Tuesday in Varennes Que. on to Becker MN via Sault Ste. Marie. Then on to Lindsay NE and back home. A 3100 mile trek (5200 kms). Observed a human being eating a bucket of fried chicken at 7 am in Iowa city....I have an interesting life!

Cycling? If so I am quite impressed.

It's a newfangled kind...

We don't have those where I live. The highways are too narrow and twisty, the sleeper cabs can't make it out here.

I’ve put the collection away, and dug out this artifact. This is one I serviced for a friend about 5 years ago. After I finished it, I phoned him, and he said he didn’t want it back, and that I could keep it. So it has become the watch I wear when we take off on a camping trip. I don’t call it a “beater”. I don’t have any beaters. But I would be less upset if something cataclysmic happened to this one, than if I had an accident with one of my collectibles. This watch is 22-years old..........much newer than most of my collection. It was made in an era when name brand watch companies used good quality movements in their watches. Nowadays, you open up a name brand watch the customer likely paid a grand for, and you find a ten dollar movement. Hang onto your collectibles, friends. Affordable ones of any quality are getting harder to find.

Last minute swap out, I just picked this up from my WM 10 minutes ago after its lens change.

Bought it last week with scratched up lens but it was running well with in COSC specs, just 3 seconds out over 3 days!
Remarkable for an unserviced watch or even a fresh service so I didn't opt for a service just a new lens.

Todays new lens


Last weeks old lens

Croton CASD on a nice rainy Sunday. 99% of the time you can't see these crystal striations but every once in a while the light hits it at the right angle and you can see them. Anyone know where they come from? Someone said once you it was from polishing the crystal with too much heat.
