Yes I have one 馃槈

Now I really want to see that picture from this thread presented on that little screen!

Ah, speaking of presentations I discovered something from pre-COVID that used to get a lot of use,

but now the protective casing is more useful鈥trange times.

I don't, I won't. Having worked with computers/IT full-time and virtually uninterrupted since the mid-1980's, I swore off electronic watches with the exception of my Navy issue G-Shock. I love having something that is utterly not dependent on flowing electrons to function. Carrying around the phone is bad enough, I refuse on my own grounds to ever buy or wear a smart watch.

I have nothing against them for others, they are clearly useful and many enjoy them. Personally, I'd rather not.

Sturhling gone couldn't tolerate that any longer. 馃お

Much better now.

Hopefully next week I will have a couple more Enicars in the collection available to wear as I am trying to resurrect 2 basket cases that were left for dead by others indeed one is just an excellent condition Ocean Pearl stainless case that has had the movement robbed, I have the correct manual movement AR1124 just looking out for the correct dial to match the reference 120/006. The other is a GP cased 25 Jewel auto but the case is truly beyond redemption, short of spending many hundreds to build up refinish and replate but my WM has located the exact case in infinitely better condition.

I do love vintage watches 馃榿
