New OLD watch

[maynard]

Here is the other one.

Two chronographs are now reserved for "dress-up" occasions... the other is an Omega Seamaster. Both are mechanical. Like those a lot. :highly_amused:

OK, you can admit it to me Doc and it will be our secret. Sometimes you "dress up" as James Bond, don't you?

When someone asks if they should get an LBC, my response is if you wear a wind-up watch and cook with gas, you'll probably like an LBC. If you wear a digital watch and cook with a microwave, an LBC probably isn't for you.

Not with any intent, Rick... and that's "Commander Bond" BTW. :highly_amused:

I can hardly see doc drinking a CAB stirred, not shaken

 

[DrEntropy]

mmmm... Elliot, ain't that "shaken, not stirred" ?!?

Either way, a CAB would become a good close quarters weapon, at least as enuff distraction for the chance to pull out th' Walther. :smirk:

You are right doc. That must have been 006 I was thinking of.

Walter, I thought you might get a kick out of seeing this, I got the "counterfeit" Omega, not too impressed. Here are the fake and my real Omega Seamaster Soccer variant, side by side.

Pretty easy to tell the copy!

My Rolex died, but here's my beautiful Breitling Navitimer. Feast your eyes peasants.Worth every penny of the $25 I paid for it after it fell off a truck...

 

[DrEntropy]

Nice, Paul. I never had that kind of luck.

I would have a hard time telling time with that watch; the dial's all fuzzy.

 

[pdplot]

Fuzzy indeed. That's my lousy photography. My fake Rolex only lasted a year. The Breitling sits in a drawer unused most of the year. It's one of those where motion winds it. I didn't think those 3 little dials actually worked but they do. Both the Rolex and the Breitling were purchased in Shanghai. I had to go upstairs behind a curtain. There was a whole showcase of cheap fakes. I paid $25 for the Rolex. When it died, my son bought me the Breitling - also $25. Today, I had to pull the windshield reservoir out of the Alfa - it had a hole in the bottom. I pulled out of the same drawer a $20 Timex that had lain there for over 6 or 7 years and guess what - it was still working. The original battery hadn't died. I strapped it on and went to work. I found one reservoir on EBay - condition unknown. Apparently neither Alfa parts supplier has that model, only the earlier one. I tried duct taping it but it still leaked. Maybe fiberglassing? The hole is pretty big - maybe 1" x 3". Anybody ever repair one of these plastic reservoirs?

 

[John Turney]

That's why I wear a Timex.
