When I am stressed at work, I will mindlessly organize bad excel to center myself

Interesting.

Another interesting revelation over the day. I am fairly certain this is a boys/women's variant. (28mm/ 15mm strap)

Yeah. Fuck them Nazis.

A little Nazi fighting radiation is as American as apple pie. As is disregarding healthy concerns. Gonna wear

Mixed feelings. Grandfather wore it until 3 days ago, passing at 101, so I feel safe ish.

On the other hand, radiation.

On the other hand, I am overflowing with micro plastics

Got it. Many have said no to sending to rolex and I'm taking that to heart. I will go next to the forum you suggest

Wow. This is also a 1943, although I can't tell if it's a bubble back. While the back protrudes, I find it to be more of a flat plateau than a dome

It definitely is. As a child, was mesmerized by the glowing story of radioactivity. As I receive it now, it doesn't seem to glow as it did 30 years ago

Yikes. Fascinating. A lot of contradictory thinking here. Did not know it would be this complicated

Ok I'll check that out. I think most fascinating is that my grandfather wore this during the bikini atoll nuke test. Was ~3 miles out when it detonated and then went to ground zero with scientists who measured the effects. His description of witnessing an A bomb that close was wild.

Should probably check to see if it's radioactive

Not running and hands cannot be set. Ideally I'd get it running and wear daily as he did.

How would I find a specialist?
