It became very orange and pink by the end, but no Eiffel Tower appeared.

The members of this forum enjoy them, but I think we would all acknowledge that they involve costs in both money and convenience. People don't necessarily keep the same interests forever. If you have moved on from mechanical watches, there is nothing wrong with that.

We can always count on you for great photography and interesting insights.

Highly functional and finely made watches, with real horological significance.

I do miss the Alps.

And quite well aligned.

Obviously the chips are very small, but do you think the watch was made that way or did the pallet jewel chip them? If the latter, do you think there are little bits of metal floating around in the movement? Tremendous picture, in any case.

I used to have an old Rolex (old like 1920s) that had an actual screw-down bezel. I assume that is the origin of knurled bezels used now.

They can be difficult to research and even harder to find, but I definitely prefer wearing a watch with a correct buckle.

Our West Coast lobsters have great flavor; a bit more gamy than the Maine variety. On balance, I prefer the Western version.
