I’ve lived too long anyway
In my continuing (and pointless) obsession with mech watches, I’ve been looking for an analog with GMT.
Purty, eh?
Looks like a Chinese copy of a Rolex, Miyota movement. Ebay, $25 plus $20 S&H from Asia. Cheap, in the mail, and am I looking forward to it.
Clearly, this whole watch thing has gotten a bit out of hand.

A bit?
I can picture the next time you have to fly…
TSA: “Sir, please put all metal into the tray.”
Paul: “This may take some time…”
(sounds of groans and a hail of thrown boarding passes from the line following as Paul…
…takes off his jacket.
…then a watch
…then a watch from the other arm
…then a watch from his picket
…then a second watch from his right arm
…then a third from his left arm
…then another from a different pocket.
TSA: “Sir, we will have to detain you. Only terrorists have that many watches. How many bombs are you planning to detonate with them?”
Paul: “But really, I’m not a terrorist! I just have a fetish. It isn’t even X rated. Really!”
