Red Mosquito

I've never really been one to wear a wristwatch. Maybe I've had 5 different watches total in my life. Yet, lately I've noticed watches more and more out in the wild. The simple ones catch my eye the most, but the heavy duty sports watches when worn right can make a bold statement. I found a watch recently in a pawn shop. Nothing special about it. Seems well made, if a little basic. Quartz movement with a chronographic dial. Quick googling tells me its a hong kong product, and worth a whopping $54 on eBay, but I got it for $20. A steal if it keeps good time, which so far it has.

on brand

I’ve worn a watch most of my life and I have completely given myself over to the Apple watch.

I might wear a regular watch now like 5-10 days out of the entire year.

I still use the anal log watchface though.

I need a pocketwatch. Wrist watches get in the way.

agreed. how are you supposed to know if the locomotive from mankato to dubuque is on schedule or whether you have time for another sarsaparilla?

I’ve been wanting an Apple Watch for years. Haven’t taken the plunge.

I’ve got a pocket watch that belonged to my great-great grandfather. It still keeps time very well.

Does this video do anything for you?

I can clearly remember seeing a gold day/date time piece on my dad's dresser growing up. In my mind, it was a Rolex. I asked him about it recently, and he told me I was crazy and that he'd never owned a Rolex in his life. The watch I was remembering was in fact a Seiko. This makes a lot more sense in retrospect. He never could have afforded a Rolex and we didn't have that type of upbringing.

I’ve worked out how to program my microwave to show a 12 hour clock, but my oven seems to only show a 24 hour clock. Mildly annoying.

I wear a watch every day, I like to know what time it is

My Dad had a Rolex. I vividly remember him wearing it when I was a kid. I asked my Mum whatever happened to it and she told me he traded it in for a Seiko years ago.

Wtaf?

Probably a good trade. It's easier to walk around with a Seiko, I bet.

did you know that the meaning of Seiko is holy, truth and child?

My dad had a Seiko he got in Japan for years. I wish I still had it.

Stop wishing for what you no longer have and just be here now. That Seiko is gone, never to be seen again. Still, the seconds are ticking.
