You and Oisin.
That datewheel looks a bit misalaigned.
Cute dog.
Nah the watch is not running and set it back to 10 past ten for the photo, so the date is ticking over without power in the spring.
My doggo is awesome, I am experienced dealing with bitches.

I see the appeal tbh, manual winding is great, sort of a ritual winding it. Barely a benefit to automatic if you swap watches around. And quartz too, it's great just grabbing a watch and not worrying about if it stopped.Yeah, if wasn't made in the space age or stone age I'm not interested.
I've had a few autos down the years, couple of Seiko's, a 60's Omega, a 1930's Rolex Oyster Bubbleback, a 60's Longines Conquest in steel*, but that's about it, that I can think of, this is going back to the 80's and 90's. The above Vostok is also the newest watch I own, by a good few decades. Vintage types are weird basically.
Actually that's a thing I've noticed over the last few years on forums, there are fewer vintage types as a proportion of the hobby/madness than there used to be. I suppose because supply got tight ad prices went way up.
*miss those last two sometimes actually. The Rolex was a pretty little(very) thing, the Longines was very nice and 39mm IIRC.0 -

I've really noticed this the past while, i'm usually too lazy to actually set the time/date too so i'm walking around with watches that aren't even telling the time

Not a watch but a new strap for the aquanaut. You have to cut these straps to size so once its cut its cut. These are obnoxiously expensive so it might as well be a new watch. In for a penny in for a pound I suppose. Its a nice system that keeps the strap very smooth and the same thickness all the way around but I better not gain any weight.
