I’d looked at pocket watches as an add on for Temu free shipping for myself.
Neither were what I wanted and the first looses nearly 30s a day so my dad got the second for Christmas. Both refunded without return BTW.
One of the managers of the supported accommodation I am in is leaving soon and has been a solid, if grumpy uncle, rock supporting us all. So I wanted to give him something that fit into the rules of not costing me anything.
OK, he’s not retiring and it’s not gold, and yes it supports my hoarding addiction but…
An leftover lighter box, some foam from (haven’t a scooby) and leftover £1 veneer paper I got for the £20 shelving unit they bought me that I split to make my computer desk that allowed me back to Facer…
Nice presentation . Now that is a watch . I have seen this Harrison H4 and it would take a big pocket to put it in . Sadly nothing to give it scale . About 6 inches in Diameter .

It’s hard to track down the original among 20 years of uber hype. I remember when it was first there and there were links to the listing but they are long dead.
It was one of the original Actual Memes that were things that started out normal but developed a life of their own. Rathar than today you just call something a ‘meme’ to make it ‘viral’ but this is no longer the case.
The entire internet is now the virus and ‘trending’ is just the latest viral payload.
The only good news is that the mitigation (not remedy) is our own self control and fact checking other sources.
@rob.fisk Do you subscribe to any clock or watch collector sites or hardcopy publications? They may be able to help you. The local group that my husband and I are members of do that.
