Hey new folk. You’ll find lots of different interests here on CoSo. I’m an amateur musician and amateur watchmaker, as an example. I can go from this to this in a heartbeat.

PSA: CoSo is about so much more than politics.

So. Much. More.

Embrace it.

Don't be a dick.

With all the new folk joining, it's time to do a #meetthenauts

This morning I swapped a new jubilee style bracelet onto my Orient Kamasu. Orients get a lot of flack for their standard bracelets so I thought I’d see if I could make an improvement. This one is from Strapcode and is very well made. I think it enhances the look quite a bit. #watchmaking

Good morning, CoSo. Safely ensconced in the nurturing bosom of home, after driving back last night. Time for some coffee, some work, and a little watchmaking. Coffee time. #caffeineclub ☕

n 1970, after Apollo 13 was crippled by the rupture of a service module oxygen tank, Jack Swigert's Speedmaster was used to time the critical 14-second burn using the lunar module's descent propulsion system, which allowed for the crew's safe return. In recognition of this, Omega was awarded the Snoopy Award by the Apollo 13 astronauts for "dedication, professionalism, and outstanding contributions in support of the first United States Manned Lunar Landing Project."

People ask what watch do you want, if you could have any watch? My "grail" is the Omega Speedmaster Professional (aka the Moonwatch.)

This is Buzz Aldrin wearing one during Apollo 11.

That's why.

Good morning, CoSo. Wednesday. After work, driving back home so I'm looking forward to that. Let's grab a coffee. #caffeineclub ☕

I love it when people ask me what I'm doing and I answer, "Sharpening my knife." They seem puzzled and say, "Oh you mean like learning a new skill! Sharpening the saw! Like that!"

No.

I'm literally sharpening my knife.

Good morning, CoSo. Happy Monday. Busy week, fighting off remnants of the cold and a trip for work today. So, let's crank up the coffee. #caffeineclub ☕

Bruce, Carlin, Pryor, Williams, et. al. would disagree. Jokes are important. Even the ones you may not like. And especially the ones that make you uncomfortable.

@Museek Happy Birthday! I hope you have an enjoyable day and a wonderful year! 🎂🎁🎊

Just ordered a Jubilee style bracelet for my Orient Kamasu watch. Orients are excellent value but the factory bracelet could be better. So, I’m making it so.

Rain here and at our place + feeling kinda crappy with this cold means I’m gonna just sit tight today. Hope y’all are having a good Saturday so far.

Goodnight friends 🌒

They say natural light is best light, so I ventured outside for a couple of glamour shots of this piece. #watchmaking
