Feel for ya brother....sent a vintage Alera out once for restoration, came back and on day one it flipped off the bathroom counter right onto the tile floor crazing the crystal...

Sold the Eterna...change-up

wow Adam....and a "Boyd" at that.

Impressive!

Had a vintage Green Horse, and the new Diastar. I loved the Diastar, but get the larger model. Mine was too small.

I guess I need to look at that myself...seems a basic every watch box must have. Nice Bill!

Love that white dial, Mike!

Outstanding!

Oh, yeah....20mm please!!

Very cool. Would be fun to wear that one.

Please forgive me, he was throwing numbers at me that boggled the mind. 15 something movement family?? Th...

My watchmake is restoring a late 70's GMT/Explorer, matt dial, cyclops, all black bezel. He is on backorder for parts, and may be another 4-6 months on the completion.

Told me I could have it when he's done for 4K....

Good/Bad/Ugly?

Are Jeeps still underpowered? I admit that I miss the 4.0 I6, but the V6 is allright...not wonderful, but allright. I am not four wheeling like I used to, so that doesn't mean as much to me. I almost did the 5.0 Chrysler conversion...I had a Chrysler 300 sitting in the driveway.....THAT would have ...
