Invicta Corduba Chronograph Black Dial Stainless Steel Men's Watch 80216

A Black Duck Custom winder
I've had a project in the back of my head for a while now and it's finally coming to the front. I've found that I would like a watch winder but can't seem to save for one while saving for more wrist candy and better wrist candy. Ive decided to build one. That's right build one. I've got a few proto-type pieces already made and most of this will be made from found objects or things I was going to get rid of.Here are a couple of my garden trains thataren't exactly up to the task anymore. The above 4-6-0 locomotive and matching tender below have been getting canabalized to make other trains work and will donate more parts to this project.This combine passenger/mailcar will become a rail-side diner once the last truck is removed and donated to the winder project.This little logging engine has also made it's last run and will most likely be part of the diner once the motor and a few gears have been donated.This piece if 1-1/2" ID PVC pipe seems to be a perfect candidate to hold the watch in

Why Fedex is so expensive
Ordered a watch from a company in New York City. I live in Southern New Jersey about 15 minutes outside Philadelphia. Look at the circuitous route Fedex is using to deliver it:It went south past me hitting 4 states on the way, then west, then back north where it currently sits in Allentown, PA. For those of you who aren't familiar with the area's geography, the starting point is a 1.5 hour drive from me and Allentown is over 2 hours. The watch has traveled more than 5 hours of actual road time as of now and it needs to go 2 more to make it to the local Fedex place in the town next to me. Friggin' stupid, isn't it?

First Omega... just wow!
Some of you may know me from posting in the Rolex section in the past. Although I consider myself a collector, and having had a variety of brands in the past such as Rolex, JLC, Panerai, Glashutte, Vacheron, and even an obscure and vintage Nivada Depthomatic among others, I've never had an Omega.My father had also a variety of watches when I was growing up, and I remember his Speedmaster. Beautiful watch. And while in the back of my head I knew that one day I would get one, there was always another watch that I had the itch to get. Until now.The main thing that kept me from the Speedmaster was that I had little use for the Chrono, a cool feature nevertheless, and not having a date was also problematic for me. I have to travel very frequently across time zones, so a GMT -a true GMT- is always at the top of my list of preferences.So you can imagine my surprise and delight while searching for GMT Chronos that I discovered a couple of Omegas that fit the bill perferctly: The n
