    This back today from my WM after a full service.

    The watch basically cost me nothing (50 cents at most) other than the very low service cost my WM affords me due to the high volumes he sees from me ( 7 this last week).

    Its a Citizen Tiger XXX 21 Jewel which took my fancy with it gorgeous glowing blue dial, believe me my photo does not do it justice! I don't normally do Citizen but this just had that look.

    Long live vintage watches!!

    PS I need to change the inappropriate 14mm nylon strap to a more appropriate 18mm SS bracelet.
    Not sure if the case is chromed or SS if SS a light polish would make the watch look new.

    As some one who has been building electronic devices since about 6 years old in the 1960's I really appreciate seeing this bit of nostalgic history.
    I built my first radio at about 8 years old and my first binary computer from discrete flip flops at about 9 years old moving to the digital world rather than the analogue computers I played with prior to that.
    God that makes me feel old!

    I think it looks terrific. The color combo works really well. Which City Edition is that?

    Another day, another hurricane coming up the west coast of sunny Florida.
    I really need to hurry up and invest in a dive watch.

    I picture of the the hood from the last one. Expecting about the same this time.

    You present a Tuesday dilemma; how to like your timepiece without liking inundated property.
    Sandbag and carry on!

    I’m wearing today a special one. This is a Vintage Omega Geneve Automatic with a rare double signed Turler dial. But it’s not all, it has the original Omega milanese bracelet…
