Cool beans…flying with another watch dude today…and he’s wearing his USAF issued Marathon/Gallet and Co. It was issued to him in 1992 when he transitioned to the USAF ANG to fly the KC-135. He had transitioned from the USA where he flew the AH-1 Cobra and was NOT issued a watch…which made me feel [somewhat] better since I was NOT issued a watch when I entered service in the USN in 1986…

Busted Speedy Tuesday.

The Speedmaster was dropped about a month ago. The chronograph was running when I picked it up. Stopped and reset and the watch ran the rest of that day. Wound it next morning and it ran fine and accurately for that day until a little after 3:00 in the afternoon when it abruptly stopped. Obviously a hospital case. Watchmaker was gone for a month so had to wait until today to schedule surgery. It gets one more Speedy Tuesday before repair.

Any suggestions as to the reason(s) for the 24 hour plus stoppage would be appreciated. And, no, dropping it like a nitwit is not allowed for I've already deduced that as a reason.

It just goes to show that when the going gets tough, the tough play the accordion.

It's bound to be a First World problem to have to wear a vintage Seamaster 30 on Speedy Tuesday.

My Gallet Astronimic today - a rare Gallet to have a moonphase on it. Sadly, it is almost new moon, so the smile is out of sight.

Just happened to be 10:08 though - perfect watch photo time!

UG bumper in 18k - this one is supposed to be going away, but it gets a few more wears while it is still with me.

I wore a Seiko for a week while we were away, trailering. We are back now, and time for a change. I chose my 90 year old Longines which has been shown here, before. The watch you see is the end result of countless years awaiting considerable work. For over 50 years, the watch you see was buried amongst countless other hopeless cases. The case you see is Canadian made, white gold filled, the dial was just as you see it, but the movement was a basket case. Fast forward to about 5 years ago, a friend brought me a Longines in a trashed case, and with a trashed dial. The prognosis was not good, so he gave the watch to me. One day, in a flash of inspiration, I retrieved the two watches to find they were identical movements. One louse (mine), and one good one (his). Add sweat equity and a period correct bracelet, and this is the result.
