1753: The First Watch in the USA
TIMEIn 1753 Benjamin Banneker, a self-educated scientist, astronomer, inventor, writer and anti-slavery publicist built a clock entirely from wood. It was the first watch made in the USA.1 It was a pocket-watch and striking in appearance.1 Across the ocean in the heart of the Middle East, in northeast Arabia in the district of Ahsa, a man was born in that same year who had a remarkable sensitivity to time and its significance. His name was Shaykh Ahmad. He built, not a clock, but an ediface of theological interpretation in his role as a mujtahid. He laid the foundation for what later became the Shaykhi School of the Ithna-Ashariyyih sect of Shi¡¯ah Islam and, in time, for what became Babism which was transformed by sensible and insensible degrees into a world religion. -Ron Price with thanks to: 1¡°Church of the Living God,¡± an internet site, 29 December 2008.Time was marching on in thoseopening chapters of our modernhistory, enlightenment and thepost-enlightenment part of o

TRF members...Lets see your Connie Pie Pans
I have a few and will post one every few days. It would be interesting to hear as much info you have on the watch; Ref #, movement cal, Dial variations and any provenance you may have on the watch.This first watch was one of my last acquired, a classic pie pan bought to be a daily wear watch; ref # 2852-3 SC cal 505 (see below) in 14k capped SS case. Original cross hair dial that meets the MOY test (see below) with arabic numerals at 12/3/6/9 and a nice gentle patina. The watch has moderate wear on the 14k observatory medallion on the case back Serial # 16,113,xxx which dates the watch to circa 1958. This watch is currently running +8 sec per day. This watch has some tarnishing / deterioration of the gold capping on the inner edges of the lugs as well as wear on the case from usage. As such, I was able to buy it at a very reasonable price for use as an all original, daily wear connie pie pan in my collection. The watch is wearing an Omega chocolate brown croc strap. The watch was acqui

His & Hers - Incoming!
So for anyone who saw my original thread about a month ago, the day of gifting the watch arrived.https://.rolexforums/showthread.php?t=589801I will say that based on some of the comments from the last thread I did start to wonder if I'd done something wrong, screwed up, etc. and did second guess myself. Turns out I should trust my gut. She absolutely loves it! (Then again who wouldn't love a surprise Rolex. ) The bluesy was a gift for myself based on a career milestone and to scratch an itch I was having after I bought my DJ41. Will add a pic of them together here in a second. signedTwo really happy rolex owners!
