Want To Help Japan? Buy A Watch
In case you haven't heard, Japan isn't doing so well right now after being battered by the massive earthquake and ensuing disasters. Japan and the Japanese people are going to need a lot of help for the next few years, at least. They haven't had so much to recover from since the end of WWII - while most countries never have an event like this to recover from.You can do a lot to help, including buying watches from Japanese watch brands to help the country's economy. While they aren't the only Japanese watch brands, Seiko, Citizen, and Casio are all business that you'll want to support right now - and it helps that they make really good watches. If you aren't in the market for a new timepiece right now but still want to help , then there are a lot of good charities and organizations that you can donate to.Having traveled to Japan a few times, my thoughts and earnest hope for speedy recovery goes to the people I know there along with their friends, family, and coworkers.

Factoid of the Day 4-29-08
Wristwatches didn't really move into the mainstream until the 1920s. Guys tended see wristwatches as effeminate items mostly used by women.

Finally: All correct 105.012.
I think have posted pics before of my 105.012? But tonight I manage to fix the broken links on the 1039 bracelet. They became slightly stiff, but much better than before without the spring in the links. I took a few photos. Watch has, according to MWO all parts correct. The only things I had to chase down was a correct crow (found a NOS) and the bracelet. Bracelet is a bit later, 1971 if I remember correctly? Hesalite glas is also correct. The omega sign was a pain to take picture of, but I managed to get a pic of its shadow so I could identify it. (pictures is not included here). When looking at the pics I realize I need to clean it a bit more. But I couldn't resist posting this:

Is this Ranchero original?

GMT owners in the aviation business
I'm wondering, as the GMT was developed as a pilot watch,. how many GMT owners are really working in the aviation business? not necessarily as a pilot, but in the aviation industry in general. ?I own a GMT batman, and I'm in the aviation business for 30 years, started as a mechanic, tech. specialist, and now have my own company on buying and selling aircraft and parts, and recycling aircraft.i'm traveling a lot, and in aviation most of us 'work' with zulu time, the GMT is besides a very beautiful watch also a real tool for me. So that made me curious how many of 'us' are out there,.
