That's a gorgeous piece and certainly a cool piece of history.

Well it hits home for me. I wear the same G-Shock (Casio) I wore in Afghanistan 15 years ago. I replaced the battery around 2015 because I took the watch apart to clean it out. I then didn't replace it again until a few months ago. It also sat in drawer for two years at one point. Pretty sure...

This is a fun thought experiment if you'll permit me some leeway to build off of your statement and circle back to where you and @Big_Easy disagree. Your father is suggesting that successful people would continue to be successful under different circumstances. I'm inclined to agree with this...

I'll start from your closing remark. I'm not sure if the question posed here is for the sentence before, questioning the name, or addressing why I think that's a concerning disruption. If you're asking why I'm choosing to respond, I enjoy trying to understand how other people think, see a...
