Your watch and your car. :)
Hey there Gals and GuysNow if I assume you are like me when it comes to cars, you would service your watches on the dot by which I mean, following the manufacturer's recommendations for service intervals. The only car I didn't service on the dot before was my first car. One of my newbie car-ownership idiosyncrasies was that I didn't get my car serviced until the idle speed of the engine was getting so low that it wouldn't always idle. Mind you, I had taken a screwdriver to it to tweak the idle speed. If nothing else, I didn't mind taking tools to car.more so than I would a watch.So do you service your watches on the dot or when there are signs that a watch doctor was needed. The watch could be losing time or behaving erratically, a sure indication that help was needed.I'm going to put this into a poll as well if you don't mind. I like our new poll toy but let's keep talkin' too amigos Y'all be well now pals ZIN

The right watch for your Profession...
Wombat has recently posted a thread featuring his new Pulsometer watch, which fits in very nicely with his medical profession (even if it is a bit hard to actually use for its intended purpose).This lead me to wonder, does anyone else own a watch that is designed for their profession, or ticks all the boxes for your job?An obvious example would be a diver and his diver's watch(es) - I know there are some professional or serious divers at WTF.Maybe someone who works around magnetic fields with their Rolex Milgaus.Or perhaps you work in a tough industry and need a tough watch - G-Shock, anyone?So - how about some pics of the watch that is just right for your chosen profession....or even, "This watch would be just right for my job...." if you don't happen to own it now.

An Omega...Sort of..
I always get questions when I wear this watch.... Here are fresh pictures..Lanco was made by the Langendorf Company (LanCo) in the mid 1800's, and ceased production in about 1973.. During it's last years, this company was owned by Omega/Tissot and Omega did market the name with Tissot movements.. This great company was a very progressive company and only fell due to mis-management and not because the movements or watches were second-class. It became a victim of the Quartz movement as Omega moved to consolidate and keep itself alive..This one is from the mid-60's, a few years before the buy-out by Omega>You can see the dial shows 45 years of time and also has a touch of moisture issue at the top... however, everything, including the crystal is original (except the strap)The dial is unusual because it has the traditional tachymeter in the black outer chapter, but also has a Telemeter dial with red numbering.. This Telemeter feature allowed you to time those things that traveled a
