Giving this guy some love today.

 

1894 Waltham Riverside today.

 

on an old pocket watch chain, in the right front pocket of my bluejeans, with the chain routed through the belt loop and attached to my belt buckle.

I just have to remember not to drop the car keys in there when I get to work. They're actually nicer to wear at work because I don't have to worry about smacking the Constellation on something and ruining the crystal. As the plant's production engineer I'm always messing with something, the pocket watch is out of the way.

If I've gotta wear suitpants or something fancier, I'll just have to put on a wrist watch.

 

Was wearing this
But Fritz's post prompted a change to this

 

1919!, nicely "updated", tons of these were left homeless in the 70s when the cases were melted for the metal content, its a nice way to save a good movement.

Grade 344, model 2, 12 size, one of a run of 2000 made in 1919, this movement made from 1905 to 1927, 163700 total made. This movement meant for a hunter case.

 

Wow! Happy to know more about this one. Recased by Richard Paige in Hawaii.

 

This does not get near enough the wrist time it deserves. Heading out to the beach today with this one.

 

Older picture, but this one today.


I cut myself twice with it..........

 

I've never seen that one.

 

Watching the Ravens-Steelers game, we'll see the Steelers next year! Go Ravens! Now to New England!

 

Just back from skiing...HNY all..
