WRUW Tuesday 20th February 2024?

Today is my dad’s birthday - he would have turned 82. Of all the watches he had, this one is by far my favourite. It’s on a period-correct bracelet but, sadly, not the original - that got broken way back in January 1968. I really should service it given that it’s 60 years old but a big part of me wants to just leave it as-is. The only work it’s ever had done is a new crystal and gaskets, and it still throws a very good trace on the timegrapher.

Happy Birthday dad, miss you every day.

This is the watch i've had the longest because when my house burned down 7 years ago, 
this watch was at Dr. Seiko's spa, awaiting treatment. Randall's gone now too, (RIP) but 
this watch still runs like a top.

Cheers to leffemonster 's Dad and his memory, may they stand the same test of time his watch has.

Today for me is the newly serviced 7548-7010 quartz 200m diver. If you're interested in it's renovation check it out HERE. This one might hang out for a few days

It'll be a few weeks before my new Superior arrives (though I have a VFA coming sooner).  So this Superior today.

This came back from a service today after waiting for parts for nearly a year. Two replacement coils later and it's humming away nicely

The date is off because I just reattached the crown and she’s due for a tune-up, but she keeps good time for the shape she’s in.

It was almost around this time in 2020 when one of the vendors was having a dealer meeting and then 2 weeks later the Gubment shut everything down in the world.

So last week I found out they were finally having it again so I go there and noone else is there

Turns out they moved it to a different hotel / meeting room place

I told our sales rep when I go there that I was MAD and he said that they had been holding it at the new place for the last 2 years.

Guess I wasn't invited.

Classy place:  they have a sharps container on the bathroom counter for those "guests" who choose to shoot up in the bathroom.  

I'm surprised they don't have a Narcan dispenser next to it

Thanks for that.  I click on the link, scroll through the posts, and part way realizing I am thumbs upping the watches I like.  Geez.

Like I have told every half and idiot I have ever worked with:  It's not my job to teach you.  Your parents should have done that a long time ago.

I didn't know that he had passed.

For a minute there was back to when Simon showed up I was almost ready to call him out as Randall off the grid (left CA, watch fixer, etc)

A green sort of day!! I love the chunkiness of my Turtle and the style!
