[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 3822782, member: 7900"] Good luck in all your efforts. From your posts, it is obvious that this "avocation" really suits you. I'm currently wearing a Seiko that is "I have no idea how old." A year or so ago, the wife bought me an expensive watch that was called "automatic" (read: self-winding), but it would keep quitting on me because I'm not active enough to keep it "wound up." So, the expensive watch went back to the store, and I'm back to wearing the Seiko. I have issues with watches on occasion. Back when we were on the farm/ranch, I had to give up wrist watches of any kind of movement and had to go to pocket watches. The wife had bought me a fairly expensive one of those once, and I lost it when we were moving cattle by horseback. When I noticed the watch was gone, I went back looking. I couldn't find it at first until I gave up and headed back and then found it embedded in the sloped "facing" of a ridge of a field that had drilled wheat in it. It was invisible to me as I rode out, but visible when I rode back. [/QUOTE]
