Some folks got a kick out of this last Thursday, so here we are again. Decided to go dive watch to drag the trash and recycling bins to the curb. What is YOUR task watch on this Friday Eve?

Bought her as a bucket list thing in 2018 when I was diagnosed with esophageal cancer. 8 years (and a bunch of money later), she and I are both alive and well. I have 2 new knees and hips, she has a ZZ4 crate engine, Holly 600, HEI ignition, 700R4 trans, 12 bolt rear and 3.55 gears. I basically just cruise around the country roads with my wife and its a joy.

Going through boxes of pictures from days gone by. Guessing this is from 1986, the last time they were AFC champs before moving? I remember being on a business trip back then and snapping this pic out the window as I drove by.

Me and my old tech time keeper and old tech automobile...

Ok, so I knew the watch specs read lume applied, but I don't typically go out at night (hey now, I'm 63 and retired...lol), so I never gave it much thought (I just love the dial and overall quality including the La Joux-Perret G101 movement). I just got back from taking ride in my convertible and the watch was out in the sun. I got to see the glow for the first time. That was sort of cool.

Bought the previous version of the Hydroconquest (new). I like the large Arabic numerals and love this watch. Owned it for an hour...lol.

Thanks Drew! Appreciate his passion for red wine...

I'm in week 21, started at 240 and am currently 197. Was wearing 42W pants and 2XL shirts, now i'm 38W and L and loving it. My goal is 10-15 more pounds to get to 180-185 and then I want to maintain that. I know the CDC says my ideal weight is 125-168, but I think thats too low for my 5'8" frame and my build. 🤷‍♂️

I bought this watch in 2002 (yes, its seen some things, thank God it can't talk!). I had it sized, but over 24 years my weight has "fluctuated". Since October of 2025 (had a heart attack), I've dropped 45 pounds. My trusty old beater was saggin' like a bangle, sliding into handwatch territory and just too big. Using a spring bar tool and a YouTube video, I removed a link today. Now I want to buy more watch tools and learn to size all bracelets myself. I really hope this isn't another watch rabbit and I end up with a box full of straps. 😪

Just got home from cruising in my old Chevelle convertible and realized the watch was glowing. First time I noticed this...lol.

Anyone else love their own watches so much that they go outside to the garden and photograph them? This is a Straum Jan Mayen I bought last month in Oslo. Quickly has become a favorite GADA watch for me.

Now in week 15, started at 240, now at 202. The CDC says I'm obese (but no longer morbidly obese, so that's nice). Need to lose 7 more pounds to be categorized as just "overweight" (63 years old, 5'8", 202 pounds).

Life goals! 🥳

First time sharing this. All I had was a couple of Citizen Eco-Drive watches (one goes back to 2002) until a few years ago. Now iIm drawn to mechanical watches and love these little machines that tell time with gears and springs.

These were all in a window, thought my fellow watch nerds would get a kick out of these.
