    It's in Irving, Tx just north west of Dallas like you were headed to DFW.

    Sounds like it could be a loose canon pinion. I had that happen on a Nomos. If so, easy fix for the right guy with the right tool.

    The Sinn 104 is my daily wear to the office. Just a great watch. Congrats.

    I have a relative getting married and is looking at venues around Dallas. Does anyone have any thoughts or experience with a place called Venetian Terrace in Irving? Thanks..

    Different complications are neat on mechanical watches. So few of them do a nice large moon phase that is readable unless you get really pricey like Arnold. The best not ridiculous priced moonphase I have seen is the Christopher Ward C1 Moonglow. I'd need to see it in real life if the translucent shield is dark enough to limit the lower moon figure, but overall they have done a good and unique job with this. It has a "Speedy" vibe, very large moon, and the red tipped second hand and date are nice for quick viewing at a glance. It runs about $2k.

    Saphir Renovateur mink oil is God's gift to calf leather shoes.

    I see it as jealousy over the sartorial excellence that we West Virginians are so well known for.

    My kids got me something they know I've wanted. Not for everyone, but it works in my shoe collection for casual dress. .

    I've got a Weishi 1900. Really cool and addicting. Can also set off the OCD. I use it as a tool for tracking speed (accuracy) and amplitude (condition of spring). I don't open my watches, but it lets me know if something is headed in a direction I might need work done to it.

    LOL. Already have it covered.

    Did you see where Rolex is dropping the OP39 and has introduced a new OP41 but with four (kind of not for me) flashy modern dial colors? As my Rhodium OP39 is now out of production and an instant rare classic, I will now start the bidding at $100 chajillion bazillion dolllars....

    As a dad with preteen kids watching when she was on a TV show, I have to say that Zendaya turned out much hotter.

    I'm the same way on many. It's why I can't do a cyclops on a Rolex and have an OP39, and love Nomos. That Tudor above (i think it is a Black Bay) is fricking beautiful in it's simplicity and the quality of the case and movement is wonderful. But then I irrationally and stupidly think, "oh Tudor....just get a damn Rolex if they are the same company."

    We did pizza and beer at The Hill and Holler.

    Was just there 2 week ago. Went to Snowshoe for a bit of hiking/ATV/etc and snuck down there for a day of shopping and eating. Still pretty quiet and closed from virus stuff.

    Worrying about time up here in the mountains is down on the list. Indoor plumbing, revenuers, and genetic diversity are greater priority issues....... PS: Is Gen. Lee coming down on Monument Ave in Richmond?

    Here is something different I picked up recently. A solid gold IWC, and like me, the movement was made in 1964. Very different from most of my others but just a sweet simple piece. Original hands and unretouched dial still in great condition. It uses the 854 calibre but isn't considered part of the Ingenieur line. It's an automatic and I love the clean face with no complications. I've never gone down the "vintage" route, and don't plan on much because of the prevalence of frankens and frauds, but couldn't pass this one up for a "birthyear" watch. .

    Yeah, but do his commercials have explosions and goriilas and hawks and shit? That's how I judge and choose a lawyer.

    @clapclapclap Checking in from my farm in Virginia. Just got in after a week in Snowshoe, WV. No skiing, but 60's and 70's beats the heck out of 100 deg. No trips to Austin planned.

    I think the easiest solution would be to burn the whole house down and build a new one designed around this door size.

    Some days more than others, but life is still pretty damn good even with a son at VaTech, a basketball team with no guards, and a football team with no quarterback.

    Here is my Laco bronze 45mm Nav B Uhr sitting on a print I found & framed of the original spec's (originals were 55mm). I've got 8" wrists so it sits well on me.

    I added my first full Swiss (a lot of my Germans have Swiss movements, both ETA & Sellita) to my brigade of German watches. It's the Oyster Perpetual 39 in Rhodium. Really understated watch that doesn't scream "look at me" like so many Rolex do.

    Great watch. It's my daily wear to the office.
