So yes, it might be Seikos to start with...My one other recommendation there is to keep the parts! That way it can be returned to standard if needed... :) Now I just need Gary’s stamp of approval for the mod! I did get the parts back, but I have no intention of every returning it to stock.

Hand wound...back in the day only option...why put it on the dial?

Automatic...new kid on the block??...let’s shout about it

Quartz....a dirty word...don’t put it on the dial

Please don’t take my comments seriously

That all makes perfect sense, even if you’re not being serious.

Nothing about either of those watches reads “old” to me. I find them to be rather modern and contemporary looking....very much NOT old.

Before and after...

The modded Sea Urchin has arrived, and I love it!

That’s was wonderful to watch. Such emotion! Thanks for sharing.

And her discussion of the Rolex OP was great too. I think if I ever got a Rolex, it would be a 36mm OP. I like to think of my C65 Trident Vintage as a poor man’s OP.

C65 AM GT for the road trip to bring my daughter back to school.

After seeing a story on applejack, a favorite liquor of colonial America, I bought a bottle distilled by a family distiller holding license #1 from the US treasury! It’s been in the same family since the 1790s. This is a Jack Rose. Applejack, lime juice, and grenadine in a 2:1:½ ratio, shaken over i...

...I just thought it was an official time signal of some sort, and hence a reliable easy to remember website.

Haha! I never picked up on that! As in, “The time is...”. I like that notion much more than Iceland being the top level domain. There’s no fun in that.
