Thanks. I need to add the movement info to those two! The Consul is an Adolf Schild movement and the Langendorf is a Lanco-Rotor but I don't remember the calibers off-hand. If you're interested in seeing inside the Langendorf there's a case opening video here: (youtube)+Drp2pAYWdkY?t=1286. And there's a lume shot of it here: (youtube)+Drp2pAYWdkY?tt=3023. Unfortunately I think you may have to copy and paste the two links above to get to the correct time offsets in the video. The video description is also indexed so you can just click on the video and then jump to it using the timeline or the time-offfsets in the description..

You do have to set the altimeter to a known altitude. You can do that once and it holds pretty well, or you can set it just before a hike if you want more accuracy. About temp, I always assumed that the only way to get an accurate "outside" temperature was to take it off my wrist and let it acclimate. Outside temp is available on iPhone, so the way I used it the most was water temperature in the swimming pool or Lake Geneva which it acclimates to very quickly without removing it.

Yeah, a steel and grey Tissot T-Touch II was my main watch for nine years - 2010 - 2019. I bought and wore other watches during that time but the T-Touch was the perfect tool watch for me: dual time, dual alarm, loud alarm, plus all the crazy stuff the hands do. Its flex -- for me -- was that I had higher priorities than wearing a fancy watch. That said, it's got a lot of plastic and electronics inside, and ultimately battery, electronics, and plastic parts relegated it to bing a disposable. Collections can include anything of course, but for me this collection, including the Tissot, is about being honest about what I had enough interest in to buy and wear: in most cases because they were fun, and in the case of the Tissot because it ticked all the boxes in terms of tool watch functions that I wanted (and often needed) on my wrist.

Thanks @morganthedruid ! I'll be using my limited skills to do deep reviews (case opening and movement removal / examination) of my own collection of vintage watches on my YouTube channel, I Shoot Watches, over the next couple of weeks. (see my recent SOTC post on WatchCrunch via my profile - I don't know how to link to WatchCrunch posts)

I'm a "YouTuber" (and WatchCrunch member of course). Having watched too many fake watch restoration videos on YouTube I decided to make my focus on YouTube, "How NOT To Repair A Watch." For those tempted to attempt to follow the fake watch restoration videos on YouTube like I did and do their own restorations I suggest that they watch this video first (and then every video on my channel of course 😀): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6OaAgcaWE7w

I think it has to do with his ”Giving Pledge.” He’s just always been a bit confused about the difference between “giving“ and “taking”.

Gates be more like, “Leave me alone with my Casio, I don’t flex because I don’t like to remind people that I used my fake philanthropy $ billions to fund big pharma‘s takeover of the WHO."
