Father Time
Good morning gentlemen, I know many of you are connoisseur of watches. But I am curious what kind of clocks to you have at home? Do any of you have or thought about owning a grandfather clock 🕰️? Or maybe a classic cuckoo clock? My father when he was in the military was stationed over seas purchased several authentic cuckoo clocks and several grandfather clocks and one very large grandfather clock that weighed about 200-300 lbs. My wife actually had one that she had before we were married and it was in storage and we ere going through some things and I found this wall grandfather clock in storage and she thought it was broken and all it need was to be cleaned up and wound. It turned out to be a beautiful clock to have .
The blindfold test
Not sure if I'm the only one that does this but before putting my watch on, I often hold the watch in my hand to feel the weight and run my fingers overs the curves of the case just to experience by touch. Lol sounds weird when I read it back. Ok let's get to the question. If you were blindfolded and could only feel your watches, is there 1 watch that feels the best in hand? and is it the most expensive watch in the collection or is it one that surprised you with how good it felt? Mine is the San Martin GMT I posted today. It's just feels more premium than any of the others.
I'm done chasing the fire!
That's it, I'm done. I've tried to get it back four separate times, and each time I have a rough day at work and end up missing the mark one day. Yesterday was one of those days and it wiped out nearly three weeks of work. So that's it. I'll post and like and reply as often as I can, but I won't worry about that little emoji. It's not worth the frustration when I miss a day, at least not to me.
Watches have come a long way!
My friend just bought a vintage Rolex (1988). When I saw it, my instinct was that it was a fake. It had a jangly bracelet, stamped clasp and hollow end links. I was underwhelmed by the feel. Then I looked it up- all of those things were period correct. Now? Only the cheapest watches are like that- in fact, those are kind of the threshold for quality. Nearly any watch over $100 would look and feel more substantial than this classic (I’m willing to bet a new base model Toyota Corolla would have a similar comparison to a vintage luxury car too!)
Watch Deficiency Disorder
I knew there was a reason! Now I can live my life knowing what it is and that it’s “normal”. So glad that I have a support group like this to help me through my “struggle” 😝 https://www.instagram.com/reel/DQ_H6QcjGcK/?igsh=MW1ob3BwZXNhcXdyNw==
