Which Watch are you wearing today?

It might help if you study service levels and prices...if nothing else, you will see automotive dealerships in a new and cheaper light.

I have. I now know that a new Rolex will still have 5 digit value after 30 years and longer. A new car will be worth about $150 to the scrapper at the same point if we throw in inflation. I saw an older Omega Speedmaster for sale today online that was priced at $100,000.

The watch I recall from childhood as the watch men wore, along with the field watches. The jacket seen only rarely and unzipped, as 15-20yrs passed since the war and waistlines grew, and knit cuffs generally coming apart...and rarely rarely saw any military clothing item worn outside of a parade.

This Bronco A-2 is a repro from John Chapman at Good Wear. He's the most painstakingly accurate maker of repro A-2's, but his jackets are far from cheap and carry a 1-2 year wait. This one took me 14 months.

I have a couple original A-2 jackets (a Cable Raincoat 10008 and a Rough Wear 18091), but I don't wear either one. The four repro A-2 jackets that I have are Good Wear Doniger, Bronco, and Rough Wear contracts and a Bill Kelso Star Sportswear.

Aragon Titanium GMT. Please note Proper Date. I'd do the Pocket Dump thread but that's classified.

I didn’t want @mtngunr to have to wait until March 23, 2027.

I really like the Black and the Seaweed Green. Oh well, Tudor may be next up or the FOIS...
