Thread: **** what watch for the end of the year ****

  1. #11
    In early 1988, I picked up my steel Pulsar P3 Date Command -not working- for $20 from my watchmaker friend Eddie Lee. It was my second Pulsar, and my second repair attempt. I got it working and wore it a lot.

    For several years, my partner at the time and I would go to one of the smaller islands here for awesome New Year's Eve parties. That year, I wore the Pulsar. Most people had forgotten about these silly watches, but as we were all off our faces a bit, it was pretty trippy watching the glowing red digits count down to midnight, and the date flipping over from 12.31 to 1.1.

    I guess you had to be there. A New Year's party to remember for a lot of reasons, but this watch has become my official New Year's Eve watch every year since then, and will be again this year.

    I won't know my end of the year watch until the random number app tells me on Friday.

    Light travels faster than sound, which is the reason that some people appear bright before you hear them speak.
