Talking Watches with Volnation

[JCHateSteve]

That is super cool. I have my great grandfather's pocket watch. He was an engineer on the clinchfield rr in West Virginia. I'll post a pic when I can

Nice

Mine would have been working on the Clinchfield as well I believe . Most likely out of Dungannon VA.

That's really cool.

I love old watches. Especially old pocket and railroad watches.

Yeah lots of history with railroad watches. One of the first industries where accurate timekeeping was imperative.

I love the litte ways you can see how it effected the design ofmthe watches. Like mine is a lever lock. You have to unscrew the crystal to pull little lever to set it. They wanted it to be harder to get to the mechanism so their was no chance of it getting accidentally tripped and throwing then time off. They couldn't afford that.

I have been collecting watches for several years. I have been on Citizen Eco Drive. They are dependable and not so expensive that if you scratch it, it's not a big deal. With all that being said, I have been starting to look at higher end watches. I really liked the Eco drive because I don't have to worry about changing batteries. I have been looking at Tag & Rolex. Do they have similar options to the Eco drive?
What do you have? Do you like it? How often do you have to change the battery? How expensive is it to change battery?

I've been wearing my Apple Ultra so much I never wear my real watches. Pulled out the Omega Sea Master Aqua Terra Co-axial and it hasn't left my wrist since. Need to start the rotation and gave the mechanicals some love.
