    Watch Out or Watch on? Pt 2.

    Since I rarely get to wear the thing now, I have it hanging on the wall above the kitchen sink. It's my kitchen clock, and a constant reminder of a past life on, and under, the sea. The ,69 Speedmaster, currently in to Omega for service, will be my "home" watch when I'm home and not doing work...

    And yet there is a third in the works. Hopefully they will correct course.

    Watch Out or Watch on? Pt 2.

    I love it, and would never have anything visible replaced or repaired. I have a 1969 Omega Speedmaster in for service and made sure they know not to replace or restore a single thing on the exterior. Not the dial, the hands, and no polishing the case or back cover. Good lord, it would be like...

    Watch Out or Watch on? Pt 2.

    I worked as a diver for 9 years, plus all of my personal recreation dives. I stopped logging after a couple k, and stopped ballparking a little after 4k. Despite having a computer on every dive, often two, I always used the bezel on the watch! I mean, it's just cool!

    More Bad News for Canadians

    Sorry, meant to say I'm in the US. As for the profile, I prefer to remain an enigma. (Or, as it is, lazy.)

    Coffee: Your Favourite Bean Might Soon Get Even Better.

    Same. I am not very picky and typically buy a kilo of one Lavazza or another for around $20 or so. I feel like the local roasters all think their beans are worth twice that. Nope.

    I Don't Smoke in Warm Weather. You?

    Title edited for caps. Please see rule 9. I live in the Pacific Northwest. Smoking my pipes has always been a cool weather activity for me. Moving to the tropics years ago is why I quit... just too warm. Back home these last few years and starting to dabble again.

    What are You Watching? [2024] Please Rate 1-5

    Re-watching the seasons of Fargo. Just started 3. Finished 5 a few days ago. All 5/5 IMO. Re-watched Sicario last night. Also 5/5. Watched the second one a few weeks ago and could barely finish it. 2/5 at best. Chock full of ridiculous coincidences and contrivances to keep the story moving.

    Corona Old Boy service?

    Guess I could have resized that. Editing, just saw your reply. Do they not make them anymore?

    The Perfect EDC Knife

    EDC knives are a funny thing for me. I carry a few things that I actually use at least a few times a week, I do a huge range of activities, and yet the one thing I almost literally never need is a blade. Ever. Only recently did I buy a little keychain thing with a 1/2 inch blade for one...

    More Bad News for Canadians

    I'm selling my 1999 boxed set of Dunhill tins and have a Canadian interested. Can I even ship it there?

    Watch Out or Watch on? Pt 2.

    Sadly, I wear a smart watch all the time now because I need a few features multiple times a day. Before that I wore my beloved, sun faded, beat to hell Citizen Promaster dive watch. With over 5k dives on it, most as a working diver, every single scratch and dent has a story.

    The Perfect Outdoorsman Hat

    I wore a TIlley (sp?) for a while when I ran dive boats. Any hat was a problem though due to wind.

    What Are You Drinking? January 2024.

    Lots of club soda. I will on occasion have a Heineken with dinner, but that's about it.

    IM Corona ~ Double Corona in Chrome/Barley

    Very nice. I would like to buff the gold off of my Old Boy as I definitely prefer the silver look.

    How to Avoid Ashtray Mouth?

    Thank you, all good tips. I agree that the number one thing will be going easy. I used to smoke a lot, so I don't think I thought about it much. Now though, I notice it right away if it starts to happen. Ick. I have noticed the food thing... if I smoke after eating, my mouth still has...

    Corona Old Boy service?

    Will do. Sent a message. I bought mine in the very early 90's. Gold with rough (I assume) briar. It's spent the majority of its life in the box it came in. I wish I had the original receipt!

    What are You Reading Now?

    I just finished First Blood, by David Morrell. I hate spoilers, so I hope nobody mentions any differences between the book and the movie here. I will say that, if you pick up a copy and it has a forward, DO NOT READ IT (or listen to it if an audiobook) It should have been an afterward as...
