First real summer day called for this strap (the watch just came along 😀).

I used to like this watch until a serious collector told me some imbecile had polished it. Now I only use it in the garage to time how long it takes to run my small engines dry for storage.

That's too bad about the polishing.

Tell you what, I know the thing just really irritates you so I'll do you a couple of favors. I'll take it off your hands and pay you $100 for the shipping and handling.

Deal?

EDIT: I'll even throw in an old Casio that has an alarm, date and clock too. Real accurate because it's digital.

In case anyone cares, this is a repro bezel. The original is worth as much as the watch, but these stainless 2915 bezels were not at all like the later versions. They torque easily and are MUCH easier to remove. I can easily pull the old one off with my hand. This is probably why we see 25 to 50 percent of 2915s without original bezels. Maybe more when one accepts many presented as real are likely good copies.

I’d feel far too guilty taking anything for it after learning the truth about polishing. But thanks. I’ll suffer in relative silence.

It's almost time to eat, suddenly I'm craving seafood, and I don’t know why 😜

June 10th and it’s snowing… hard to see as it’s not staying on the ground but it’s horrible to see this time of year.

Chore day doing some repair and repaint on a porch of our 124 year old house calls for the King of the Beaters in the collection.
