doublegunshop.com - home Forums General Discussion DoubleGun BBS @ doublegunshop.com Slightly OT: Wristwatches and doubles?

As usual, Stanton makes a very good point here. Around certain types of equipment, watches and rings are just not good policy (when I was a much younger man working on drilling rigs in the oilfields of Pennsylvania, I wore neither).

Also, because of the ubiquitous nature of cell phones anymore, most younger folks now do not wear watches . I am clearly a creature of habit (sigh!) and I don't feel fully dressed unless I have a watch on. I like to be able to just glance at my wrist to confirm the time. With my phone I must turn it on first...too slow and inconvenient for me for me (and...my eyes just don't work that well anymore, but I can see watch hands just fine).

Like Eeb here, I like (love?) old & finely made technology that works well. I don't own a fountain pen but I'd certainly consider one if I had a use for it.
