I just bought some camera gear for birding, about 2/3rds on a CC. Oops. No more watches for a long time. But… I’ll enjoy the ones I have!
It is my first 24 hour watch and I have half a century experience looking at 12 hour dials, and I’m in the US and didn’t work in a field that needed military time.
So I don’t wear it a lot. Yesterday I decided to wear it a ton. (I’m on the road now and I have a new watch waiting for me at home, so that one will need to get some wrist time.) But unless I’m kayaking, I’m wearing this one for awhile.
It seems to be a new business and the price on the watch I’m interested in is certainly in the “too good to be true” category. Googlng “expertfinejewelry.com scam” goes to several scam detector websites, who all advise against it.
But it is the only place I can buy a certain watch. So I want it to be legit. :- ) :- )
So then she bought this one, it arrived today. We’re sitting around the table in the RV outside a Cracker Barrel and she’s talking about her new watch.
And then she talks about the ones she wants. She shows me a video.
It is out of stock. I find it on Jomashop. Add to cart. Checkout.
Then she…

Well done Farer. Anybody else have a similar story?
Just an FYI, the Timex Marlin Jet is back in stock at timex.com. (Oops, sold out!)
No affliiate, just a fan of the brand.

My only points of reference for new, medium quality watches are my Seiko GMT and my Bulova Hack. Neither of these watches are in that…
My brother found this at the National Museum of the 8th Air Force in Pooler, Georgia. He writes:
The US Air Force as we know it today did not exist yet in World War II. So the air forces were numbered divisions and p…
Continue readingSo I’ve been thinking about the Bulova A-15 Pilot, and I’ve also been thinking about the Marathon Officer’s GPM.
I’ve been going back and forth between the two of them, paralyzed. I’ve watched all the videos, read all the blogs.
The A-15 would be perfect if it was a little smaller, in both diameter and thickness, and I’m also worried about the non-screw down crowns at 2 and 4. So I didn’t add it to any…
This isn’t just theory, I’m considering buying a vintage (1970s) Japanese watch. The seller has great feedback with lots of happy customers, is that enough?
I’ve read countless horror stories of newbies, like me, paying too much for franken watches. I’ve seen list of countries known for making frankens, and the seller doesn’t live in any of those countries.
But how can I vet the seller? I guess at a minimun I could…
