Watches to wear with your flight jackets...

What country is the Metro brand made for? I see it's Swiss made, but that doesn't mean it's for the Swiss. The Swiss make watches for all kinds of countries. I haven't actually seen a Metro before, but I have a long way to go learning about vintage watches.

Metro is an old Swiss brand. Like many other watch factories, it disappeared mainly during the quartz crisis of 197x. The Swiss make watches for the whole world. It is a watchmaking powerhouse.

So you can hand paint on luminescence. I stand corrected. My A-11 watches no longer glow. My watchmaker still makes jokes that having an A-11 watch will give you radiation poisoning, but they obviously stopped emitting a long time ago. I did see a documentary where in the factory women would paint on radium and they would lick the brushes to make them come to a fine point to do detail. They did this so much that their teeth started falling out and they had holes in their bones and their hair fell out etc. Until I guess they died. Sad, but they didn't know at the time.

The radium paint on the dial and hands is still radioactive, even if the luminescence has faded. Just don't inhale or ingest it and you'll be fine though.

Leaving aside the politics, watch guys have concluded they're basically customized aliexpress watches being sold at a stratospheric markup.

Such a minute quantity in the first place. As I was mentioning you have to ingest it, in quantity.

I'm sort of middle of the road politically. I'd rather wear a Mickey Mouse watch that would be cool.

If accurate it should read...

"Using only the highest quality materials...literally the most beautiful, greatest materials in the history of materials. These watches are solid, great looking...much better looking than Rosie O'Donnell and those hosts on The View. A horrible, horrible show by the way..."

I don't even want to comment on it

I would like to ramble on a train of thought that doesn't make sense.

I got into aliexpress watches a few years ago and there are some decent cheapo watches.
I enjoy the Slim dimensions of that 1926 and the original history of the Rolex oyster being on board the first flight over Mount Everest is neat.
