If you can think of something to talk about that is not related to knives, discuss it here.

I see you have a watch chain hanging from your vest.....

Which watch do you carry Sir?

Mike that’s the old Elgin that belonged to my dad’s father. It’s nothing fancy, but a neat old piece nonetheless.

COOL....

Elgins are my first love. I have a few that would go back to the Civil War period.
And a couple of Walthams that would go back that far.
All key winders.

Wow! I love pocket watches. Those you have sound extra cool!

This is the only one I have, and I don’t know enough about them to seriously pursue them. This one needs to be serviced. It’ll run, then hang up. I gotta get it slicked up.

Hope I’m not butting in, but I can’t resist pocket watches. I have 27 American railroad watches from most the major manufacturers, but my usual EDC is a non-railroad grade Elgin model 616 that my Granddad bought new.

Say that again bro Wade!

Such a cool hobby Willie; I'd be a happy pig in mud, wrenching on steamers (especially post-WWII loco's).
And I absolutely dig pocket watches!
Only have 1 in the hoard so far (new one my Dad gifted me).
Hoping to eventually take the dive into watch collecting; just the buggie can't handle it right now.

Don't take this for gospel Mike but I think they can be moved. It's not like there's a boat load of them. Just ask a Mod to do it. And they could rub out your posts and mine discussing the movement while they're at it. It would be like it never happened. :mrgreen:

Good for you, Scott.
I lost 55lbs. I started eating carnivore once a day and ditched the carbohydrates. The weight fell off me. ::nod::

Very healthy Scott. Congratulations. Once you lose that next 20 lb, the trick is to keep it off. I wish you good luck and stick-to-itness.
