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.

🌎: St. Paul, MN.

Good morning, CoSo. Time to Tuesday. Let's grab a coffee.

🌎: Houston, TX.

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.

🌎: Lancaster, PA.

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.

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

My problem is that I also have this one with a black dial. Not sure I need two. Maybe I do.

Dammit. I knew this would happen. I mentioned a while back that I ordered a new dial for this watch (much higher quality). I swapped the dials today and damn if I don’t really like this watch now.

I was planning on offering it up for sale to make room for a new project but I may have to rethink that.

Good morning, CoSo. Let's get on with it. Still lots to do. But first, coffee.

🌎: Burlington, VT.

Lawn mowing reward: Deep Eddy lime vodka and Sprite. A+ will drink again. 🍹

Today is new watch day. I needed a “beater” that I could use while working outside doing outside things and not worry about bashing it into something. Casio GAB2100-1A. Solar powered / Bluetooth connectivity.

Good Morning, CoSo. One more day. One more commute. Let's coffee.

🌎: Middleton, WI.

Good morning, CoSo. Let's get a coffee and see what we can do about Monday.

🌎: Santa Fe, NM.

Hi CoSo: I need to make room for an upcoming new watch in my collection. I’m offering this as a CoSo Special. This watch started life as an Invicta Diver. It’s an NH35A automatic mechanical that I modded. I changed the dial and hands. It has some minor signs of wear on the clasp, but overall in great shape.

Asking $125 shipped (domestic).

If you’re interested drop me a DM!

Good morning CoSo. Coffee on the road this morning. Since the fun and frolic of yesterday, which included a steak dinner at the Leona General Store, we still have things to attend to. Off we go. ☕️

🌎: Texas

Great time on the Texas State Railroad today. Even my watch got in on it. We talked with the conductor and he was admiring it, and then showed me his and turned out it needs a service. So now, I may just have a watch customer. Bonus from the Presidential car where we rode.

Good morning CoSo. Today we head over to Palestine, Texas to enjoy a ride on the Texas State Railroad. I’m nerding out and carrying my BW Raymond pocket watch for the trip.
