My rebuilt 187, a watch with a high fuglitude, is currently on my wrist. Comments are, as always, actively solicited and appreciated.

Nice Pugs

Today is a 187 day for me too, it makes my left arm hurt. :lol:

By the way, how did you fix your broken bezel that was missing the marker?

I bought a scrap 187 with a dead movement.

It's a traditional (well, most likely 19th century) Chinese tile game called Mah Jong, similar to many parlour card games. It's played for money in lots of places (my mother remembers seeing restaurants change hands over games of Mah Jong when she visited a Chinese friend) but just for glory in my house. I've not had enough players to hold a decent game for a few years, but now I'm settled in my new home, I'm looking forward to a Mahjong night, not unlike our poker nights of old.

ps. Yes, my set of tiles is a good one, bought during a period of prosperity.

Hey Pug,

great photoskills as usual!!

I've never thought that a 187 would be the right watch for me.
Now I've seen your combination with this strap and I must say it's killing me.

I hate you, for forcing me to buy another rep :wink:

Greetings

(1) also wearing my 187 today

(2) Mah Jong is great - my Mum started playing years ago and I have a set from her - but it's been a while.

I also like Go, which is more chess like and not reliant upon chance. .. hmm, but OT, sorry

haha do new mahjong sets come with numbers and letters on the actually card?

That 187 looks bullet proof and the S.O. is beautiful as always. Probably my favorite watch right now. Nice pics and thanks for the complimentary wallpaper.
