News stories that remind you of Surly
Kim Jong Un's Navy is Illin: https://www.wsj.com/world/asia/kim-jong-uns-new-warship-capsizes-at-launch-due-to-absolute-carelessness-ef8024c1?mod=wknd_pos1 SEOUL—North Korean leader Kim Jong Un’s dream of modernizing his country’s outdated naval fleet suffered a major setback after a much-touted warship crashed into the water after a botched exit from the dock. Kim, who witnessed the mishap unfold at a Wednesday launch event, lambasted officials for their “absolute carelessness, irresponsibility and unscientific empiricism” in causing the “serious accident,” North Korea’s state media reported. The 41-year-old dictator equated the gaffe to a criminal act. The unnamed 5,000-ton destroyer had been docked at a shipyard in Chongjin, a northeastern port city. As it was pushed sideways toward the water, the ship didn’t move in parallel. Its hull got crushed and its bow got stranded on the shipway, state media said. Citing satellite imagery of the shipyard, South Korea’s military said the destroyer lay on its side in the water. North Korean state media didn’t publish images from the launch event or mention any injuries. The warship represents one of Kim’s crown jewels in his push to upgrade North Korea’s naval fleet. Much of the country’s ships are from the Soviet era—and pale in comparison to the nuclear-powered submarines, warships and vessels possessed by the U.S. and South Korea. Nuclear-armed North Korea has a growing arsenal of weaponry. But nearly all of it is land-based, and therefore more easily detectable. Advancing the Kim regime’s naval capabilities could expand the potential theater of combat and offer more unpredictability to its firepower. Atop a country with serious food shortages, a down economy and widespread human-rights abuse, Kim has leaned heavily on military breakthroughs to boost morale and demonstrate the nation’s strength. Officials responsible for the warship blunder were censured for the fault. Kim vowed a turnaround by next month. The accident, Kim was quoted as saying, “brought the dignity and self-respect of our state to a collapse.”

My 28 yr old gray market Seamaster started skipping the date ahead 2 or 3 days each day. Guess I need it worked on again. Had it serviced 8-9 years ago and it was ~$1000 and I sent it someplace back east. The local Omega shop won’t touch it. Any good local (Houston) independent watchmakers that folks trust?
