I just did my car, so only five clocks and watches to go...

I agree we need one or the other. When I lived up North, that was definitely DST. Down here I'd rather EST. But I ain't fussy.


Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

In 1984 I travelled from Florida to Washington-State in a month.

That's what I would call changing clocks. Laughing Out Loud

...forgive my ignorance (others have  😉 😀) but I fail to see the connection between that "spring forward pic"  and that 1/24 DM 1953 Buick Estate station wagon. 

Was that an OEM Spring Edition or some ad campaign - "Spring ahead with Buick!"     Or is there even a connection other than it's a well staged photo?  🤔 🤔

@perrone1, that's a nice Citizen, Tony. I don't think I've seen that one before. How many watches do you have?

Chris, it's all of the above. The spring is from one of the watches but I'm unsure which one. The Buick was, indeed, the DM Spring edition in 1953. Scared

The Citizen is a great watch. I only have four different ones. I had a Rolex DateJust that I traded in on a new Rolex President but it did not keep good time. I traded it in on a Breitling and never looked back.

- Wow, who knew?  I just learned something about Buicks!  😀 

- Wow, I haven't worn a watch in almost 30 years, but my son wears them all the time.
