Gorgeous. I normally don't care for gold watches but this is one of those exceptions.

··Nowhere near as grumpy as he used to be...Well since I’m wearing watches I’ve not worn in awhile.
Monsoon heat and humidity seems like the appropriate watch to wear.
Also works as a soccer timer in a pinch.

·Long story...
My Dad's Aquamedico somehow shed one of the two little brackets that clamp the case together. That was about 6 months ago. During one of my desperate, late-night internet searches for the tiny little piece I ran across the Aquamatic. Needless to say I immediately needed to possess it and about a week later the package arrived! This still left my dearly departed Dad's watch languishing in a state of disrepair until a random stop into an antique mall where I explained my situation to the nice lady displaying a surprising array of watches. After trying on several of her offerings she divulged that her husband is a watchmaker and I should contact him regarding the missing piece. I did and he came through by way of the (non-working) Aquatime which shares the same (well...similar) case architecture. So there they are all three of them together by a series of coincidences.

··Home For Wayward Watches
What a hoot!
I get on here to post a photo and find Hetcins1 posted a nice example of my morning's choice.
Don't laugh.
Begging your indulgence.
I wore this one yesterday to West Fest, a Czech wing ding that occurs each Labor Day weekend in West, Texas (that's not West Texas) a small town near our slightly less small town. https://westfest.com/
Sausage and kolaches were consumed. Stuff was bought at the craft show that seemed worthwhile at the time of purchase. Accordions were heard. Let's see, we heard "Blue Skirt Waltz," "Liechtensteiner Polka," "Beer Barrel Polka," "Circling Pigeons Laendler,' "Over Three Hills Laendler" among a number of other tunes. I'm pretty certain that some of those songs listed were the result of liberal borrowing of non-Czech tunes for we also heard a Czech polka band's jumped-up rendition of Chuck Berry's "Frauline." So, authenticity wasn't sought in music selection.
This Omega was acquired a couple years ago as a serviced 1945 model, with 28.10 movement, serial number 10914437. The logo looks like I drew it out with a Sharpie marker, but the watch was crying out to me to free it from a batch of cheap vintage watches being exhibited at a watch repair shop in Abilene, Texas. It was so inexpensive that I couldn't resist bringing it home. It's actually quite cheerful to wear around the house and keeps reasonable time for a five-day work week.
Just went with it again today for church wear. An usher passing the collection plate spied my choice and was enthused about it. The only two watches that I own that have ever been noticed and receive compliments are two that sport flaming re-dials.
