. . . and even now, I find myself missing the hubbub and aggravation. Computer, coffee maker, magic 8-ball for those critical business decisions, and my buddy James' name plate . . . home for a third of the day.
Let's share our* watches in the workplace this week. If you're on vacation, don't work at all , or not allowed to wear one (surgeons and professional wrestlers, for example), then the watch on your wrist will do just fine.

Well, my workplaces (I have two - Home and Office) ...
Are a tad messy.
Let me see if I can make one place a bit more organized:
Office space:
A better picture of the MC:
For more formal work, a Reverso 1948.
For workouts (Yes, I'm exercising!!!):
In full color:
For work outside home, nothing beats a Speedmaster:

Can you believe . . .
. . . I let this one go?
['69 Mk II]
['69 Mk II]
Yeah, neither can I :-( . . .
The sad point is that ...
I forgot about your "mistake" and let this one pass ...
The most perfect Speedmaster MK II that I ever saw.
Sorry about that.
I firm believe that it will be "in play" again.
Cheers,
Nilo

Already has the style ingredients of the 70ies.. Well, some we loose, some we gain.. In the long run, they probably equalize up .. Don't they ??
So, all I can say.. I'm sure,
there have been others to make up for
the opportunity..
Cheers & HAGWE !!

Here's the whole story, h. My Mk II was actually a gift . . .
. . . of sorts from a friend. It was originally acquired by his brother in Canada during its initial release in '69; by 2005, said brother had passed away, and the Mk II was in sad shape. My friend gave it to me in exchange for covering the cost of servicing another heirloom. It took my watchmaker five months to restore it: one to service it, and another four to correct errors, such as improper hands in addition to timing issues . I had to source most of the parts, including the crystal (actually, two; Berge managed to crack the first one!), pushers, crown, and (eventually) hands. When it was done . . .
. . . it was near perfect.

. . . it was near perfect.
Then, a few years later, the friend who had gifted the Mk II fell ill (pulmonary issue - he was a three-pack-a-day smoker), and like his brother before him, suffered an early demise. At that moment in time, it didn't seem right to own it any longer, so I let it go to none other than mrsnak, without regrets . . . for a while.
Today, I'd love to have it back. Of course, it just happens to be one of mrsnak's favorites, too.
(sigh) . . . and that's the way the cookie crumbles.
Omega's go and Omegas come
Just picked up this funky monkey from the 70's
Not the jedi
It's a dilemma, Julian. As much as I'm drawn . . .
. . . to these period pieces (at one time, a Flightmaster 910 was at the top of my list), the drive to own even one chronograph has dissipated. I've had half a dozen and all have been disposed of, essentially for the same reason: lack of utility. They're fascinating technically and cool operationally, but I've never been one to measure time for almost any practical purpose. When I had the El Primero, I was able to use it only once in a practicable sense. Unless the circumstances are exceptional, it's doubtful a chronograph will ever enter my possession again. And, if one does, it will most likely be a Longines 30CH from the same period. I can't quite get Marv's ~ '67 Conquest . . .
. . . out of my mind.

Aaah, Art, the 30 CH big case... Not the finest, but how cool is it! [nt]

Mark,now do you keep your keyboard spotless? Mine looks so bad the keys lost the print! [nt]
No message body
Maybe it their a missing key under the watch ? :p
Well they are not really printed as they are see-through keys to let the light come through.
Thus, I imagine they don't have the same problem as normal ones.
A good way to avoid this usual problem Joe.

I always get confused....
When trying to use a French keyboard....
But what's on top of your keyboard - no confusion there!
