Sorry I’ve been absent recently as I’ve been involved in health issues and just finished my first week of my knee replacement, so I’ve been pretty immobile lately and not really thinking about timepieces. Anyway, it seems that I’ve seen two trends in watch movements lately. Replacing the Miyota and Seiko automatics in several watches seems to be the Seliita 200-1 and some Seagull automatic movements. Any thoughts on this?

Wearing my rose gold Movado Bold tachometer with a forest green dial and gold accents with matching rose gold bracelet.(I thought about putting a dark brown strap like I have on my rose gold Epos/black dial but haven’t tried it yet).Although it’s rather large at 44mm, it wears comfortably light on the wrist. I don’t give this watch as much wrist time as it deserves only because I have a tendency to wear something a little less flashy-especially in crowded situations or if I’m on a commuter train just for my own peace of mind. Hope you all have a safe and enjoyable weekend.

Hello everyone, How's everybody doing? Its been quite a while since the last time I had the chance to visit our community. You see, each time I check on the your posts, I always end up with WEBPAGE ISNT AVAILABLE notice. I really have no idea what went wrong. Luckily, I am able to penetrate at this time. So I took this chance the send a post just to let everyone how much I miss checking on your posts. I hope this time, things will fall in to place on my end. Nice to be here again. 😉

Haven’t had this out for quite awhile. Gevril Liited Edition(143/500) Alberto Ascari watch. Ascari was a famous Ferrari driver. This watch celebrates that with a dial reminiscent of a speedometer, brake drum in center, case sides like a cylinder, stem like a piston, rotor like a Ferrari steering wheel. I also had a custom made racing strap with smaller holes to match the dial. Watch is larger at 48mm so it might not fit a smaller wrist. Also automatic movement manufacturing by his grandsons. Have a safe and happy holiday weekend.

Last week I posted my Original Grain Jim Beam Barrel watch so today I’m wearing my second model my burl and steel chronograph, which also draws it share of compliments. These are great watches, competitively priced and quality made. Their customer service is also excellent. When I acquired mine there were few models. Since then they have expanded considerably.
