    Re: Four chronometers walk into a bar...

    Here is my best effort to match wrists with watches. Given is that Frank isn't wearing a watch on his left hand (pocket watch or right hand wear possible). If the presentation was from 7pm to 9 pm then having a few beers at 10:26pm would be expected which leaves the blank casio digital watch of Herbert's as the watch set to UT (was it really blank?or did the camera shutter snap between blinks). The old timex digital must belong to Stan since we know Richard upgraded from a casio. Richard's upgrade is a TISSOT analog which I believe has a very nice ETA mechanical movement inside.

    This is a follow-up to the recent discussion of Richard Dunn's digital watch.

    Here we see the wristwatches (or lack thereof) of Herbert Prinz, me, Richard Dunn, and Stan Klein, in no particular order, last night after Richard's presentation at Mystic Seaport. Ok... it was after a couple of beers, but we had to! To match the watches to the owner, you already have one clue from yesterday. In addition, Herbert has just returned from sailing the Pacific by way of Point Venus, and his watch is set to UTC. And myself, I believe in "crowd-sourcing" when I need to know time. Got it? :)

    NavList members Mark Coady and Bob Miorelli also joined us for the presentation but were unable to stay for a beer. It was great seeing everyone!
