I've always been fascinated by watches. New to watch collecting. I have quickly realized I love chronographs - particularly those with an aviation or space connection. Living the dream in the PNW.
I've been anxiously awaiting the arrival of this watch. After 90 minutes on wrist, it has exceeded my expectations. Fit and finish are excellent. The...

If you take the DHL tracking number and go directly to the DHL web site, you can get detailed tracking info. I was able to track mine and see every stop it made from the warehouse in NSW to my house in northern western WA. It arrived today, 5 days earlier than the posted arrival date.
One of the reasons I chose the Blue on Blue watch was because of the white hands. When you reach a certain age, being able to see the hands without your reading glasses is a big plus. 😜

I have a donor watch on the way that I found on EBay. However, I bought it primarily for the movement as the alarm on the one I have has stopped working. Turns out the movement, Miyota OS80 is still available new online for ~$35. I'll keep searching EBay and other places for a crystal...
I started wearing an Apple Watch as my full time watch, instead of a conventional watch, about 4 years ago. At first, I loved the idea of so much technology and capability on my wrist. So many apps and features to explore and configure and constantly change. However, in the past year, two things really started to bug me about the Apple watch. First, my eyes reached a point where I need reading glasses to do anything other than read the time. Second, I grew tired of getting all of my alerts on the watch, when I really wanted to read them on my phone - which is almost always with me. This isn't to say I don't like the Apple watch. I do. But, about this time last year, I stopped wearing my Apple Watch to any social occasions and also when driving. I find that I'm much more relaxed and engaged in social situations. And, when driving, I'm not trying to figure out what my watch is making noise about. I now wear my Apple Watch when working for it's integration with the mac computers I use, and when I'm exercising. Otherwise, I wear one of my conventional watches. For me, it's not an either/or situation. I have decided there is a time and a place for each type of watch, and I'm much happier now. Interestingly, getting back into wearing conventional watches again is what got me interested in watch collecting...
I'm in the process of replacing the movement in a Casio OC-500 chronograph. I polished the crystal with PolyWatch for mineral crystals and made some p...
