Lately folks have figured out how to summon our resident bot. I'm here for human discourse. Not for foolish, unproductive interaction with a chatbot. Thankfully you can ignore it, but folks are still going to ruin threads by summoning it. There will be an avalanche at first, then hopefully it dies down; but there will be waves no doubt. This bot is the first thing on my ignore list. Unfortunately, summoners will have to be next. Not that you may care. You've got Frank now…

Just curious for those with Tsao Baltimore watches that have the MD-1 movement. How is it running for you?

Do you find that you favor an automatic in your collection due solely to its accuracy? I would have thought that for myself and to a certain extent it's true. However I may be getting more flexible in this regard. I have six automatic watches. Three run near perfect time; my Omega dress watch (master chronometer), my Hamilton world timer and... wait for it... an Invicta dive watch with a NH35 inside. How much use do they get? Well, my dress watch is my daily workweek watch and no doubt...

My wife has been patiently supportive during my initial stages of watch enthusiasm, and even has a few watches of her own at this point. But just yesterday sitting by the side of a pool, I realized she doesn't have anything that could go in the water with her. Other than a floatie and a drink, that is. I've got three different watches I'd trust taking underwater, so it seems a bit unfair. Thing is, she's rather a girlie-girl. Feminine to a T. I'd like to get a sort of dive watch with a…

Finally, I get a grandparent's watch thread of my own. A family member has my grandmother's watch, a Turler. I found they did some high end collaborations with the likes of Omega and IWC, but mine appears to be just a Turler. I was sent some pictures and I'm hoping to have it restored for my wife. Haven't found a similar one online as of yet, so any info would be greatly appreciated.

Didn't think I'd ever want to... but there it is. So after the gateway drug that is Invicta... a trip up the Swatch ladder from Tissot to Hamilton to Omega... and now dabbling with microbrands. I suppose I'm screwed. Coming full circle.
