Engine break in fun on Speedy Tuesday Eve....

Plugging holes in the sky - ever the FCF pilot. Directional gyro is AFU hence covered up - old school wet compass action.

Beloved Seiko 6309-7049 automatic for today...which was purchased new at the NASWF NEX in 1987 while an SNA in VT-2...

Is that [watch] an Omega Seamaster 300M?

It is in fact. I bought it at a jewelry store that I worked a security detail. They had dropped Omega, a few years prior, and happened to find the watch in a safe behind a bunch of Rolex products. New, int the box for 840.00 out the door. Pretty good day for me.

It's the same store that I could have bought about a year old Rolex Submariner for 1000.00 in 1990. At the time, I was single and making 17,200 a year. It would have been a stretch, but I could have done it with minimal pain. Made the mistake, and didn't get it. Maybe when my son is out of school, I will get one.

That Seamaster is iconic. Smart move and it will wear well for decades to come!

It’s my 55th birthday today...so I’m wearing my grail watch [a modern Speedy Gonzales Moonwatch on an Omega Barenia leather NATO]...and if I want to, I’ll go to Dunkin’ Donuts, Hooters and Waffle House. ??
