Decided to kick it up a notch today. Very dressy redial vintage Vostok. You know when you buy a twenty dollar watch from the Ukraine shipping included the quality is real. Although this JBL Bluetooth speaker my wife won in some company BS thing has some crazy sounds, nothin left to do but smile smile smile m
"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!
Raining this afternoon….kicked out of the garden so cannibalized some prior efforts, found some hands and voilà
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.
