A new one! Well, new to ME anyway. This is a ‘90s Concord Saratoga. It’s a Swiss Made “high end” quartz that almost requires a computer engineering degree to set properly. I muddled through it, but I have little clue how to access its laundry list of functions. At least it’s immune to the Y2K bug and can display the current year! It’s not something I would’ve bought for myself, but my jeweler friend gave it to me as a gift. I guess one sign you have a real “problem” is when your supplier starts giving you stuff for free. 🤪 ![image](https://discussion.tekeli.li/uploads/default/original/2X/a/a32a69f5cdd65f207a6189c017c5332cdd1c7668.jpeg) Addendum: I should’ve pointed out that the display here is set to the perpetual calendar with day of the week at 11 o’clock, week of the year at 1 o’clock, and US style date (MM/DD/YY) below the hub. ---

It’s Speedy Tuesday! I’m wearing mine, and have switched it back to the bracelet. ![image](https://discussion.tekeli.li/uploads/default/original/2X/5/5df7a65f58c7e725cfa8a3045c31c152912585d3.jpeg) ---

This is my only watch. You might possibly remember me buying it during the course of the original thread, but I never took a photo of my own one at the time. It’s not expensive, and it runs slow enough that it needs adjusting at least every other day; but I’ve been very happy with it – I’d fancied the idea of a pocket watch for years, and it turned out that I enjoy wearing it every bit as much as I’d imagined. For scale, it’s presented here alongside a standard reference cat. ![P1280093s](https://discussion.tekeli.li/uploads/default/original/2X/1/1a9c9e9b65f373651121f9b8708bdb6cf46623c2.jpeg) ![P1280114s](https://discussion.tekeli.li/uploads/default/original/2X/0/00e350cf4c4f065558df6db5d9cc3d0eda91c4ec.jpeg) ---

Is that an Imperial cat or a metric cat? ---

He’s pretty imperial most of the time. ---

I know this is a watch thread, but I got a new coat yesterday and I love it ![IMG_20201008_155837372](https://discussion.tekeli.li/uploads/default/original/2X/5/5a10765fb813c120104b634cd95ab156faa2f3d1.jpeg) Can’t really see, but there is lots of orange detailing. ---

And to continue the colour scheme… ![IMG_20201008_155900616](https://discussion.tekeli.li/uploads/default/original/2X/5/547aa461401fc6e8ef5b87287f55193b4b1d4d4d.jpeg) I love my watch but haven’t worn it for months because of all the hand washing ---

That color does go well with the coat. 👍🏼 ---

(I feel bad for the lens rep, he’s a nice guy who works with me and my wife and I kept having to send them back.) Frames are designed by a friend of my wife’s. As it’s my job I love weird specs. ---
