Good Morning Watch Fans everywhere !

We've made it through our working week, well, almost :cool:

I'm thankful to the Man above for guiding me safely through another week of hell on earth.

Let's kick off Friday's Shenanigans, shall we?

I'll start off with my 1960 T-Bird.

WRUW?

Got my lil SNK on again. I should either buy a new one or swap the movement, as when I wear it, I like this thing a lot. Did it today for St. Patrick’s day.

Why do you want to swap the movement!
That's my SNK too (y) 🆒
Is that Plumeria?

They’re fake orchids at my MIL’s house. I want to swap movements because I dropped it some years ago and the watch is kinda messed up…loses around 2 min/day, and sometimes randomly stops but will keep going after a shake or a crown pull. I think I heard an NH35 will fit, and that has to be an upgrade from the 7s26. It landed on the crown, so I’ll replace that too.

Mine is a very reliable -20 to -30 seconds a day.
That's not a problem for me.
My first watch and it'll probably outlast me unless...Ouch!!
I've dropped mine a couple of feet but the strap absorbed any shock :p 😳

The latest acquisition (and my second San Martin in <6 months), the Ranger homage (SN0107 I think). Wears incredibly well and superbly executed at the price. Far from perfect, but I've been greatly enjoying wearing this. Hope everyone here has a wonderful weekend!

Mine was -30, reliably, when I got it. I was OK with that, but -120, even for me as someone who isn’t an accuracy stickler, doesn’t work. I dropped it from a bathroom counter onto a tile floor. It’s kind of miraculous more didn’t happen. It’s also a lot of why I do t wear it much anymore. Sucks because this is a nice little thing, light and legible with some flieger vibes, and it looks better with wear, the straps have this nice washed look and the bead blasted case hides a lot of damage. Even the stuff you can see looks appropriate. This is a cool little piece for $75, and that’s why I don’t just want to bail out and toss it.

Neat design!
Did the Aragon "Presage" the Presage? :p :sneaky: 🌄

I'll be damned...it took a minute to see what you were talking about. It's not as obvious on the Aragon, but it would appear that either Wing copied that Presage....OR....the other way around????

Tile floors are evil. If glass or watches (especially ceramic cases)... Even sense they are near tile flooring....break.

I figured I was lucky as well. It was a truck stop shower (I drove trucks at the time), so I didn’t have a say about flooring! It was depressing because I had JUST done a nice photo set behind this truck stop because there’s a creek behind it with great photo ops.

Oh man....yeah. I had a Freightliner Cascadia condo sleeper with an 8 car hauler. My partner really operated the rig, but I would go often to learn loading and unloading. Tough work. Lucrative, but not for the meek of heart.
