Watches - another OCD problem
-
I did some training with Patek Phillipe in NY, and they were the only company that I have ever come across that required their watchmakers to make their own screwdriver tips out of brass. It was a pita because brass is so soft, and you are constantly having to reshape the drivers for the screw slots, but there is a reason the movements look so clean

This is on the bay, its pretty rare, thought it might be of some interest:

^Wow have never seen that one before!
Hmm, I haven't either looks interesting. [Starts searching the Google]

Just got this In the mail yesterday!

Nice! I've always liked Damasko, and the full lume face is super cool. Does that one have the new in-house movement?
-
Don - I love that you got the watch customized with your name.
Haha. Took me a sec there.

Just got this In the mail yesterday!
I had the black-faced version of this watch a couple of years ago, at the height of my WIS phase - absolutely superb build quality, that case hardening really is the nuts.

I found a Blancpain Aqua Lung today.
I've been eying up watches recently because I'm not really that happy with how my Breitling is behaving, but not a lot appeals. Well, apart from the WW2 German piece I posted earlier. This one, however, is special.
Must get saving…

That one is nice. I love the jumbo date feature; I wish more manufacturers would make watches with it.
Wonder if you can get a whale penis leather strap made for it, you know- to really add something special…
-
Never liked that date window placement, but otherwise it's a lovely watch. Been looking for a bronze cased watch for a while now, but have yet to find one that hits on all cylinders for me.
My all time favorite Lum-Tec is this one, however:
Love the blue face, orange lume combo. Tungsten case is another one on my "need" list, too. It just needs a whale penis leather strap.

She's not much, but all I've used for the past 6 months solid. Everything from landscaping, mechanical work in and under cars, warehouse and forklift work, you name it. Still unscratched somehow.
Love being able to see the time in the middle of the night too. In fact I can use it to guide my way down the hallway it's so damn bright
