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.

Here is a couple of my Elgins......

B.W. Raymond... SN42027
Key wind.. Key set.


Mat Laflin Elgin.... SN24349
Key Wind... Key set.


And ole Mat even runs!

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.

Me in the engine room. No points for guessing where my user name comes from!

Awesome pic Willie! And those watches sound cool. I would love to own a real railroad watch some day! And that Elgin is nice!!

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.

Down 19 lbs. Got 20 more to go.

Well done Scott.

Lookin' good, my friend. Congratulation!
Treefarmer

Admire you for that Scott.

Good for you, Scott.
I lost 55lbs. I started eating carnivore once a day and ditched the carbohydrates. The weight fell off me.
It feels so good to be small; like I'm supposed to be.

Congrats Scott.. Admire your dedication and drive!!!

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.

I agree....... just keep up the healthy life style that helped you lose the weight and keep on keepin' on!

Good work Scott!

Looking great Scott! Most people put on a bunch of weight during covid. You're going the other way, great job!

D) All of the above
Way to go, Scott!!

Thanks fellas!!!

Congrats Scott! You look great already! Great as in thin.
