Mechanical = "Has Soul"

Of course there are some brands which are crafted by craftsman (with a lot of help from machines), but a lot are virtually completely made by machines, just with a final bit of assembly (and QC) by a human.

Don't ruin my dream!

Gorgeous dog! What kind is it?

Looks to me like a staffordshire terrier or a pit bull.

Wow. I read this entire thread just to post that.

BTW, mine says hi.

I assume that means the same thing down under as it does in Blighty. Careful, you'll get yourself banned!

PS I like your blog - interesting life you lead. Are you in watch sales?

Oh dear. Well, that's my one transgression here. I'll behave myself from now on. Mods, if it oversteps the rules, then my sincerest apologies. Please edit (it or me) where necessary.

@WWII70, thank-you. I was in watch sales, but high-end retail started getting further and further away from my own moral code, so it was time to get out.
I wrote about it on IWL in the Blogs Section;

Context is everything. No apology required.

The Swatch S. 51 has soul. A loud one. And the thing keeps working and refuses to sleep. It's stubornn and insistent.

I love old school stuff too. In the winter I wear my Dads old over coat that gets more compliment than anything I've ever worn and it's older than I am. I used to drive a vintage Mustang that is older than I am. The Mustang is gone buy my Dad's '59 Chevy Apache pickup is my garage. There is something about firing up old cars and hand cranking the windows that puts a smile on my face.

Pics of the old Chevy, please. I have a 1972 Suburban that gets driven almost everyday.
