I am retired and spend my time hanging out with my boxer mix, cooking and collecting fountain pens, hats and watches. I fell down the vintage rabbit hole and now don't like wearing any watches over 36mm and I have a distinct preference for 34mm. That said, you'll pry my Orient Kamasu from my cold dead hands.

Thanks! What good is this whole collecting thing if you can't have some fun with it? Right? For extra contrast I'm 69 years old and I'm wearing this watch.
I am definitely in the casual wear/tank school. I have a vintage LeCoultre that I wear on an ostrich strap with everything.
Orient was the brand that sent me down the road to perdition over a dozen years ago. I really like the brand, its watches and the reliability of them. One of my favorites is my Kamasu and I'm not really a big dive watch person. I also like that they are refining their catalog constantly. They are great watches.
Happy Birthday. I love that style, I keep waiting for the "right" one to come along, but I will just have to commit one of these days.

New Old Watch
I just got this vintage LeCoultre. I believe it is from the late 30's early 40's. So far, it keeps amazing time and is quite handsome. I will need to...
