Daily Wearer Chopard Monaco Historique

 

14700

 

Wine hunting for work in South Australia, these vines some of the oldest still producing in the world - most pictured planted in 1891, and still producing 3 tonne and acre of exceptional Shiraz and Cabernet… you can see the trunks of some of these wizened ancestors are split through, sometimes wide enough to put your hand through…

 

Sometimes you just feel like wearing a chunky monkey of a watch.

 

The watch with a little sumthin' extra...



...like 12 micro-sieverts/h of radium decay

 

Isn't that most days???

 

How much does that concern you?

 

Finally went and got my phone camera fixed

 

HAGD All!

 

Many congratulations…..Twins Rule….. I know this because I’m one..

 

That’s a beautiful watch……

 

A good question, but no, not very much. I don't wear this watch very often -- maybe two days a month on average -- and it is stored in a large, well-ventilated space. I have just one other watch with radium paint, and it tickles the Geiger Counter at about 1 micro-sievert/h, so the two combined, both worn at about the same frequency and stored in the same place, likely pose a minimal health risk. I'm guessing I face a much greater health risk each day by driving on one of L.A.'s congested freeways -- due to really poor air quality, and the risk of being hit by a crazy/stupid driver.

 

First full day with sooper sword hands. Purchased from the fine gentleman @ahsposo who is always a pleasure to work with Edit please take note of my water cloud shot, special tech.

 

Ya gotta keep things in perspective.
Unless you actually are 007, driving a car is most likely the most dangerous thing you will do in your day.

 

I love the patina on this!

 

Good point. I have one radium-dialed watch and recently lost a close friend (in his fifties) to cancer, so am sensitive to it. I do have a geiger-counter.

 

One of those watches that makes me think "why am I not wearing this more often?"
