Happy Friday guys !!  


Switched to the ZMX today guys...  

Went to the watch show yesterday, didn't find much but I did pick up this 6133-0030 made in 1976. It needs some work, wrong hands, bracelet is not correct but looks good, newer bezel...so it's a bit of a franken watch, but I always wanted a 'Kakume' (Square Eyes) and prices on perfect examples are ridiculous. Wore this all day after buying it.

Yowza, that is outstanding Gary, and you know what sir?!! ..It's actually pretty fantastic, and honestly
genius that the you got a Franken when you think about it. Because you not only have your Kakume now,
but it's actually just like a limited edition !!! ..Seriously, you evidently aren't going to see another Kakume
like this one thanks to that different bezel, bracelet, and those hands ! It's all pretty terrific, and not only
makes the watch unique, but you add the Kakume to the line-up. So so cool G !!!  

Really happy for you ! ..Big big congratulations Gary !!! ..P.S. What watch show was this btw?!

The 2019 NAWCC Eastern States Regional...I think the last time I went was 2 or 3 years ago. I have picked up some awesome pieces there over the years. Prices were very high this year....so I just didn't find anything awesome.

Was wondering what show that could have been, and sounds like it was something very special. Thanks a ton for the info,
and a giant congratulations once again there to you sir ! ..That is one exceptional souvenir to have from the show !


Hope you keep on enjoying this beauty !!!
