I usually wear my watch while doing whatever. But this even made me cringe. But at least he don't baby it.

Loaded question for a group like this. You should know the answer.

I found the vintage dial on Ebay. Bought the rest on Aliexpress. I had to grind down the dial. It was an odd size. Too small for some cases, too large for others. I couldn't resist doing it. I am making a Wonder Woman version for my wife. It's much more labor intensive. Her dial is only 23.5mm. So I need to add to it to fit any NH35 case.

I currently have 2 favorites. Both built by me. And if it wasn't for all ready owning all my other watches, I wouldn't wear any others.

Longest owned watch I have is a cheap Timex. I bought it back when we first were married. We just pasted 27 years. It's a Timex. You don't keep memories of a cheap $20 watch. But I don't get rid of any watches.
