An Oddball With A Story
I just got a watch, a real oddball, but it fits perfectly with my collection. It's a pocketwatch - kind of...It's REALLY SMALL!! Just to show you HOW small, here it is with a 16s Hamilton 992E, and a 10s Elgin 546...Really, it's a wristwatch with no lugs, and a bow. Kind of funny, since nowadays so many watches seem to be pocketwatches with lugs. It's running a 19j, 13/0 sized Elgin 732 movement - one of the Durabalance series.Runs well, but needs a cleaning.It's reminiscent of the 'Nuns Watch' that Elgin sold back in the 40s and 50s - sterling silver case, white face, sweep seconds - but this is engraved for a man:'Herci to Myles, 6-8-62'. So, apparently a man's watch, despite its tiny size.I'd never heard the name 'Herci' before, so I googled it. The top 3 entries were in Croatian, but the fourth referred to a 'Herci Marsden' a former ballet dancer and now Artistic Director and Choreographer for the State Ballet of Rhode Island.

Good news: regulating my Seiko SKX007J4
I'm very happy and just wanted to share this with you guys: I have a Seiko 007 (Japanese version) which was running slow, approximately -30 seconds a day. I don't like watches that lose time, and that thing just kept annoying me everyday because that Seiko is my favorite watch and my beater as well. So I decided it had to be regulated. I wanted to do it by myself, even though I once attempted to do so and it didn¡ät turn out well. But I wanted a second chance...This tuesday I opened the case back and slightly moved the speed selector towards the "+" sign, just a little bit because I know that 7S26 movements are tricky to regulate. That happened at 11:00 am. I synchronized it with an atomic clock after I closed the case back (not fully, super-tight closed, just in case I had to open it again for further adjustments)Then I put my 007 back on my wrist and kept doing the same activities as everyday, including letting it rest with the dial up from 12:00 am to 07:00 while I sleep.Well, I've b

Digital sports watch with suit
Is it appropriate to wear a digital sport watch with a suit?

NASA X-33 Kevlar strap arrived
I used to have one of those but after years of abuse, it fell apart. Those straps are discontinued but I always liked them and the fact that all the NASA photos inside the ISS show the astronauts wearing their Speedies with this strap just made it a must have!Ofrei was ridiculously high priced but my AD came through and was able to source me one of the THREE Omega claimed to have left in their inventory.It arrived a few minutes ago. Time to address the issue in the photo below! So let's get this done.Finished.Too bad that I am at work and I now have two watches to worry about!

Anyone own a silver centenary box?
I saw one from from a collector and it looked really cool. Seemed like a nice box to store a vintage watch (might just pick up the watch that used to go in there). Just curious if anyone has one of these and their thoughts before I go ahead and pick it up.
