I'll be back in a bit with my grandfathers old S&W top beak .38. Patent date
on the top strap is 1885. It's the only S%W I have left and I forgot all about it. The watch is my everyday. A 2 diamond elgin. It's abouy 24 years old but still looks great and keeps perfect time.

Thought I'd slip that one in and hope it would slide buy.

Not on "hawkeye" kurusu's(who's nearsighted) watch.

Hey Jack.... That knife looks familiar. I got one for Christmas that looks just like it!! I was a little sceptical, because, although made by Buck, it was made in China. But I have been carrying it anyway, and it seems like a good knife.

If you still have your Terrain, that's two things we have in common!!

Sorry for the thread drift.


Best Regards, Les

I had an uncle who was a jeweler who gave me a skeletonized Bulova Accutron as a HS graduation gift back in 79. I still have it and it still works. The battery has been updated and will last 4 to 5 years. I will wear it to social functions as jewelry.

I picked up a Rolex Submariner in the late 80's. It is in the wife's jewelry box needing an expensive service to get it running again. It is a high maintenance watch that I paid way too much for. I understand it has appreciated in value - if it was working.

The last watch I bought is a Citizen Eco-drive back in 1994 (?). It is a solar powered chronograph and still works. I stopped wearing watches when cell phones got small enough to fit in my pocket.

I gotta quit reading these watch threads.

I haven't worn a watch since I got my first cell phone, but now you've all got me checking out watches on Amazon.

I wear a watch on my left wrist, a Fitbit Versa 2 "Smart Watch" fitness tracker on my right wrist, and always have my smart phone with me. When I want to know the time, I look at my left wrist. Old habits die hard.

I have worn my Submariner most every day for over 30 years. Why? Because one of the guys that shot with us years ago wore one. I admired his, so when I could, I bought one and have enjoyed it since.

I like the P210 too.

I did the window sill trick with this one.

After I left it unatended in my bedroom for a long time(my everyday watch is the Omega Speedmaster) and it worked well.

I've got the same one....... but mine has a NATO Band Why they call the NATO Bands is beyond me.............

My everyday watch is a Timex Indiglo with leather band. I have an Elgin Sportsman 17 Jewel 14kt gold filled wristwatch with twist o flex band that I wear at Scottish Rite Reunions, plus I just inherited a 1928 Elgin 478 lever set pocket watch. It is away getting refurbished at this time. I am retiring tomorrow (again). It will make a nice retirement gift to myself.

Oh yeah Les. I know that Buck knives are not like the fancy "assault" knives everyone is carrying now but I've always loved 'em. For years I carried the 110 and/or the 112. At a boat show one time this guy had a knife sharpening booth going and he charged me extra to sharpen my Bucks because of the hardness of the steel in the blades.

Now a days I usually just carry that little folder in our pics. It is not any kind of a weapon. The blades don't lock back and there is no button or other quick opening device.

Still have the Terrain Denali too. Best motor vehicle I've ever had. Pro'lly be my last car. I have had it for 2 1/2 years and I just turned over 11K on the odometer. It is going to last a lot longer that I am.

Got to say once I got my first "one hand opening knife"...... I never looked back.... best idea since sliced bread.

Not into "Tacticalcool"; mine is a Benchmade NorthFork 2.9" with wood scales.

I cannot take my first "one hand opening" knife anywhere anymore. Switchblade stilettos are very much frowned upon by the "law" these days.

My Benchmade isn't a switchblade it has a thumb stud on the blade

Yeah, I reckon. Got a new model Swiss Army knife. But I was talking of my first, bought in 1972.
