My big brother has our Dad’s Longines self winder that he bought following 
WWII. Beautiful watch, very basic but with a timeless (no pun intended) design.

I am partial to Vintage Longines,  Wittnauer, and Movado wrist watches.
Especially the self-winding variety. I had a Grand Prix that would hold its
time for 3 days after I took it off.

I used to buy really, really nice Rolex (and other) knockoffs in Taiwan and 
Singapore in the 90s. I would bring them back and hand them out as gifts to 
friends. Good quality ones with solid Seiko movements were around $40 on the 
street. I showed one to our jeweler neighbor in WI and he was really surprised 
at the quality.

 If you want his contact information let me know. Nice guy, easy to speak

Re: [MBZ] OT. Omega Seamaster or a Rolex of Some Sort?

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

It’s a “Day-Date” 40 in white gold, a somewhat plebeian Rolex that is nice but 
not over the top like the models in the Professional line. I wanted a Rolex but 
didn’t want some super fancy version that I was going to get mugged for. The 
Oyster Perpetual is a nice basic one, too, without the day/date functions. I 
bought mine back in the early 1990s.

I will say that I found Rolexs’ don’t seem to be held in high regard by most 
watch people. They require regular maintenance and can be easily buggered up by 
an untrained repair person. Shane more or less reconditioned mine after it sat 
for easily a decade. I gave it to the youngest son, who doesn’t wear it now, 
either. At least not often, as far as I know. Just like Dad!

Get a fake Rolex. You won't need to carry insurance on it and you won't 
be upset when you get mugged.

Richarde pops up on the Vet’s list every once in a while. You could always call 
Shane, his watch guy in Toronto. He would gladly speak to you and give 
recommendations, and who better since he makes a living fixing high end 
timepieces. No email or Internet, he’s totally old school. Phone or snail mail 
only.

If you want his contact information let me know. Nice guy, easy to speak with, 
definitely a subject matter expert many times over. Did a heck of a job on a 
rebuild for a Rolex I have that I no longer wear.

That’s why I stopped wearing watches, even before cellphones became common. I 
tended to bang them up.

I like the Apple watch for the health and fitness tracking features, but not 
enough to wear one.

Nice shotgun or handgun, that would be my choice.

Our farewell gift plaque from the Navy Brig had a pair of handcuffs and a
piece of razor wire.  Have to hang that one up high, just looking at the
razor wire too long will get you cut.

Once you retire, why would you ever want to look at a watch or clock again,
are you going to be late for work?

Buy a nice fishing rod instead, or something you will truly enjoy.

Re: [MBZ] OT. Omega Seamaster or a Rolex of Some Sort?

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

 One of my dad's friends was a janitor in the NYC school system for years. When 
those guys retired they'd give him a school doorknob mounted on a plaque. When 
my dad retired his friend got one of the door knobs for him.

Since my company, to whom I whored out the last 38 years of my life, has never 
done service awards or does nothing for someone retiring, I’m thinking of 
buying myself a retirement gift.
