    Pulled the trigger on Vaer heritage automatic kickstarter this morning. Christmas present to my self, I guess. Closest I’ll own to a Tudor ranger, I suppose without a lottery largesse... have really wanted a clean no date automatic, and for $300 the Vaer seems like a lot of watch. Plus side is they have a screw down crown, so I’m hoping for some real water resistance, unlike my Hamilton.

    Got the battery for my $5 goodwill KC. Works fine, comfortable to wear.

    As more guys have switched to smart watches, decent timepieces have shown up for peanuts.

    Mainspring on my black Caravelle broke; it's 52 years old, so no suprise. A local watchmaker gave me an unexpectedly good price on fixing it plus clean and service.

    I got this Timex Expedition for Christmas, my first Timex since I was a kid, but wanted a different watch strap. The leather one is OK, but I prefer one that doesn't taper much. Plus a black one in my opinion would look better. So I just got this military style nylon strap to put on. And in case someone notices, I also prefer the strap reversed..................

    When I was in high school I worked part time at a clock and watch shop. I repaired simple mechanical clocks, electric clocks, did general cleaning and so on. I still favor mechanical movements in timepieces. This was in the 1960’s.

    Bought this a couple of days ago.
    Gearbest.com. I’m checking out Cheap Chinese Watches. This one in black and another in Green. I like the simple Dive watches. [​IMG]

    This one was $18.90 on AliExpress.
    What the heck why not.
