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. -D > On Jun 17, 2021, at 5:00 PM, Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes > wrote: > > I am partial to Vintage Longines, Wittnauer, and Movado

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. On Thu, Jun 17, 2021, 4:31 PM OK Don via Mercedes wrote: > When I feel that a watch will help me "look cool",

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

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

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

There are many times I don’t have my phone with me. Several years ago Santa brought my an Apple Watch 3, that usurped my Shinola for everyday use. I am so over the Apple Watch; seems silly to have, essentially, a second phone on your wrist. I feel I want something nice and substantial to wear

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

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. -D > On Jun 17, 2021, at 2:58 PM, Curt Raymond via Mercedes > wrote: > > Sure but a watch

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. - Max Charleston SC On Thu, Jun 17, 2021 at 1:06
