Found my Grandfather’s Army-Issued field watch from WWII. He wore it across Europe to Germany, then in the Philippines.
Gonna see if I can get it running again.
If you know a good watch shop in the DC/NOVA area send me a note.

It looks like Russia’s winter strike campaign against Ukraine is getting started. But this winter, Ukraine has a much enhanced capability to strike back.
Overnight, Russia launched a giant Shahed attack. A total of 75 Shahed's were launched of which 71 (!) were shot down. At least six regions were affected by the attack. In addition, a single Kh-59 missile was destroyed in the Dnipropetrovsk region.
