Good mechanical movements - and I consider the ETA C07.811 to be one - are not that bad at keeping the time, and the need to let someone “service” a perfectly functional watch is a myth in my opinion. One could also argue that not requiring any battery is an absolute necessity, given that humanity mostly agrees that we should harm the environment as little as possible these days. (Which is a major advantage over quartz, “smart”, eco-something, … watches.)
But I do agree that a mechanical watch requires special care while being used, and it feels good to have a shiny gadget where others have nothing or a touchscreen or something. :-)
It works just well as a present and as a time keeper, even for me who doesn’t wear jewelry. But indeed, it needed a well-thought decision.
Actually, more like $550.
Sure is! I was afraid it’s somewhat on the large side, but it fits like a glove and it doesn’t hang over my wrist. :-)
It is. 1981 F XT with a stripe of paper that I forgot to shred before I took the photo.
Indeed, it is - and it looks even more awesome outside!
Sounds great, especially as I’m a German anyway. Thank you!
Good legibility. How much was it?
I read several watch forums and blogs and I occasionally chat on the Watches Discord server (although I find Discord annoying most of the time).

I probably said “Windows” once too often (= once).
Linux is probably not the wisest choice for gaming - that would still be Windows. Anyway, the distribution does not matter that much. You can install most Linux and cross-platform software on most distributions. Do not choose your system because of what comes as the default desktop, default package set et cetera. Try a few ones. Read some reviews.
WordPerfect is still quite awesome, given that it has Reveal Codes. However, the older I am, the more I grow to like WordStar (and its free clone).
I did. TinyMCE is still less comfy to use in my opinion. Of course, that’s probably a matter of taste. Also, I wonder when Automattic will stop supporting it.
How would a hacker even notice the difference between a Linux server and.a Linux desktop? Those are the same thing.
That blog is hard to read on a desktop computer in my opinion. But hey, “it looks cool”, at least…
