@ramairthree - I remember them well brother! Great dogs. They remind me of our old black lab mix back then “Bear” man, what a dog. He was free range even around town on the relatively busy street we lived on. Street smart, friendly, fiercely loyal. He had this neighborhood route he would secretly do daily to scrounge for treats from neighbors even though he was well fed! They all had funny nicknames for him. It was a magical time back then in the late eighties, early nineties. We didn’t even lock our front door most nights.

The BM/DS is the only one that has caught one.https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/uu220/ramairfour/IMG_4877.jpeg?width=1920&height=1080&fit=boundshttps://hosting.photobucket.com/images/uu220/ramairfour/IMG_4872.jpeg?width=1920&height=1080&fit=boundsRetro dog time-Buddy was a collarless, chinless husky mix, older dog found freezing in a ditch dying with iced on freezing rain. I suspect a dump of an older persons old dog. He was pretty much deaf and had weak hips. He tested out mostly husky with some cattle dog. Our only dogs at the time were the kids little peekapoo thing and the BM. He had a great life with us, although less than a year later he woke up from a stroke and couldn''t walk, eat or drink. I had pegged him for ten to twelve. Vet rolled their eyes and said- closer to 15 is my guess, if not more. He loved the farm and other dogs, rides, and warmth. Days after he died the red hound/GSD mix pup started showing up.https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/uu220/ramairfour/IMG_1051.jpeg?width=1920&height=1080&fit=boundshttps://hosting.photobucket.com/images/uu220/ramairfour/IMG_1714.jpeg?width=1920&height=1080&fit=boundshttps://hosting.photobucket.com/images/uu220/ramairfour/IMG_1198.jpeg?width=1920&height=1080&fit=boundsThat little black peekapoo thing was the kid''s teddy puppy/toy after our precious big dogs had died. 16 years of happiness to them and the family. And treated very well by the other dogs that came. https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/uu220/ramairfour/IMG_2406.jpeg?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds5th legion is probably the only guy here that saw the white GSD mix as a pup/young dog about 34 years ago.Here he is at about 8 years old with the wife''s collie at around 3 years old around 26 years ago.https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/uu220/ramairfour/IMG_2405.jpeg?width=1920&height=1080&fit=boundsI wish dogs were around and running as long as watches, or at least people. View Quote The Dial and hands are immaculate and look like they were made yesterday. The Crystal has a couple of small scratches. Should I keep it original, or have the crystal replaced? Would that effect the value? I found one that is supposed to be made exactly like the original...an exact reproduction is what it is supposed to be. The watch is 100% original and I didn''t know if it mattered if I had the crystal replaced. I would just love to see the perfect beautiful dial I. All of its glory. I like the patina of the bezel and the used look, and have no desire to paint the numbers or anything like that. The watch is in too good of condition (for a 50 year old tool watch) to not keep it original. It could use a cleaning. ETA: Attached File Attached File Attached File |

I have done that with some vintage watches. I don’t know where the exact line is, it’s up to you- Like I’ll end up with one like this and don’t want to touch it. type Status report message description Access to the specified resource has been forbidden.
