Anyone into watches?

Yes.

 

Here is what I’m working on, the watch is stainless, but gold bars on the face. So it will clash but match? These links are worth $250 a piece. I found endlinks and going to use my stainless clasp.

 

It’s kind of like a fish going for a lure.lol

 

Welcome back and look forward to seeing some of the fishing pics you bound to have taken!

 

you good? People been asking about you like that kid that disappeared mid school year.

 

My credit card is maxed out.

 

ahh, so you were in hiding….

 

I got three more. Royal Caribbean gave me one.

stock tip: Boos Allen owes the government $375,000,000! So buy it or dump it not sure how that works.

 

huh????

you get watches for cruise loyalty? Where do I sign up!!

Wait a minute…. You’re a retired captain aren’t you….? That makes a lot of sense actually.

 

I’m stopping in Jamaica. Last time I was there they handed me a used two-tone Submariner.

 

who is this they!!!!!!

I have been creaming for a 2 tone sub date in my dreams for like a month now.

 

Diamonds International! They also handed me the biggest solitaire dia. Earings I have ever seen. $200k no dutys. They have their own cut called “The crown of Light” with like 90 facets!

 

what have you been up to?! Indiana jones over here mixed with blood diamond!

why did you go radio silent! Don’t say a cave….

 

Ban hammer. I have my ups and downs. We’re finally getting rain.

 

been there, it happens.

 

Retirement means you have income. I’m a pet store, pawn shop, FFL holder, fiber optic splicer and tester, trim carpenter, concrete stainer/polisher, grass cutter. $8 dollars a hour.

 

nice….I want to retire so badly.

only thing I test is my bong, everyday.

 

Sounds like me, though I’ve gotten into making my own edibles. Butter, coconut oil, tincture and gummies so far.

I likely should stay on topic and share a watch pic but I’m lazy and wasn’t sure if people cared about a Luminox Field Automatic 1800 Series.

 

I’m actually thinking about a Luminox. Midway USA has them on sale. I just got some shoes from them discounted over half price.https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1026260678?pid=781604

 

Looks good and a great price. Here’s the model I have-

 

My Chilean watch repair man has these for sale.

 

Old faithful.

 

Let’s play a game:
Real or fake?

 

Ya it’s fake. I just put the 557, 19mm endlinks on it. They were $15 dollars. And you can tell by the crown on the clasp, has a “o” instead of an oval stamp, and it looks more like a frog’s footprint.
Plus this bracelet comes with a “patented” link on the inside of the clasp.

 

If the stamping has any imperfections it’s fake. Even the slightest misprint.

 

Well, the watch shop can’t get a pallet fork or hands. So I’m just gonna buy a cal. 1030 movement. I can get the whole watch for a little over $2k. The “BullsEye” face is with around a $G.

 

Love mechanical watches.

This is an amazing visual resource for understanding how they work. It's alien technology.

It works. I shake it and my hour hand moves a little.

 

That freaking pallet fork is so tiny. And the screw that holds it holy crap!

 

My Chilean connection put a magnifier lens on it I think. So have to keep it out of the sun.
