    November 22, 2019: the 56th anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in Dallas, Texas. I was attending class as a sophomore in high school when the news broke.

    Not often do I find myself wearing something worthy of the Friday thread, but today:

    Arrived back from Brendan just this morning, who has worked his magic in resurrecting this Breitling.

    Full story to follow.

    Thank you.

    I will try to get the story written up in the course of the next few days, but suffice to say that but for Brendan's diligence the watch wouldn't be here.

    Indeed Sir, a great President! Sadly your present incumbent is not worthy of cleaning JKF's shoes.
    In tribute to President Kennedy's promotion of man's greatest achievement, the Speedy is on the wrist.

    I wasn't born in 63 but my parents had invited my Aunt and Uncle round for supper than evening in November 63 and they couldn't believe the news. They ate their dinner in front of the TV which was not the done thing then. It was such a terrible shock.



    HAGWE everyone.

    Shinier than a shiny thing, and consequently very difficult to photograph, I collected this yesterday from .olli. of this parish, who has serviced and renovated it to its former glory:



    An excellent job, Olli!

    I'll happily debate the relative merits of President Kennedy over President Trump anywhere you like. In the context of this Friday thread, I was expressing a supportive comment in agreement with the OP commemorating the anniversary of the death of a great President, and recounting how his death affected my parents and my aunt and uncle, some 56 years ago. May I suggest you wind your neck in.

    It might be quiet monotone… but this vintage Omega has some good character. Especially the way the second hand goes erratically around the dial, in a kind of uniform way!

    I haven’t worn this one for years (literally)

    Now it’s been on the wrist all week & I’m wondering why I left it so long ...

    Staying at a Spa holiday for a few days R&R so taking my VC along for the ride. It has been faultless.

    What?! No Seikos yet? Have to sort that out. This arrived recently and I'd forgotten how handy quartz can be.



    Another ten hours and it'll be over for a couple of days.

    Enjoy your weekend.

    Eventually, I guess, my other watches will get a look in, but at the moment it's still this, 7 days a week.
