    Beautiful "Two Line" Sub...and the no date, which I prefer to the date model - super clean.

    Mine is about as old as this thread! The second and minute hands for the stopwatch aren't zeroing like they should. Eventually I want to get a Citizen Eco-Drive. I have a Citizen with analog and digital functions that belonged to my Uncle, but it quit working while I was in Jr High. I should probably get it checked out.

    Take good care of that JLC, it's a very valuable watch.

    No pictures handy but I have a pocketwatch made during the administration of George Washington.

    Have a black Di Modell Rallye perforated waterproof watch strap on the way if I feel like changing things up, always liked life on the edge...

    Omega Speedmaster Automatic...not too big, and fits perfectly on my 7" wrist:

    Little note to all the Gentleman reading...see that red dot on my arm?

    My wife noticed me looking at this thread about 5 months ago, and I remarked how that little sore/red dot was still there almost two years later.

    Next day I had an appointment at the Doctor - skin cancer maybe?

    Turned out it was a cancerous cell - doctor removed it with a scalpel and burned it closed - got tested and it was benign but was a squamous type cancer.

    Reminder gentlemen - any red spots that don't go away, arms, head, legs, check yourself out....if I hadn't had this removed it would have grown and got much worse.

    Public Service Announcement Concludes
