I was worried about which one to choose, but I chose this one slightly different type than usual.
Thank you for your faves and comments!!
This is my dictionary from 1976 when I started to learn english. Added a register from self adhesive paper for faster usage.
Still using it from time to time, because online dictionaries rarely have enough context to to find the right one from ten possible translations.
First about the watch:
This is a vintage (mid 1970ties) Chinese wrist watch Seagull (海鸥) ST5-D (29J automatic movement). It came with original manual and original bracelet, but shown here on a steel mesh bracelet.
Nice silver pie pan dial.
The ST5-D was the first indigenous Chinese automatic movement, made by the Tianjin Watch Factory (天津手表厂).
That pocket dictionary used as a prop is not too good, but it has the character 表 at the right place for the photo.
Now for your Chinese lesson:
The character 表 biǎo has many meanings, more than given in that dictionary, most usage in a technical context is for anything with a dial. Depending what other characters it is combined with one gets the actual meaning.
Examples:
表带 biǎo dài watchband
手表 shǒubiǎo wristwatch
钟表 zhōngbiǎo clock
压力表 yālì biǎo pressure gauge
高度表 gāodù biǎo altimeter

ArtPrize has returned to Grand Rapids this year...18 days of art all over Grand Rapids. This is a good friend's entry. She is not only a photographer, but also a very talented artist. These dresses are all made from old dictionaries. She has 15 of them on display.

The Xmas book tree at the local library. It’s topped off with a couple foreign language dictionaries. Anybody happen to know the German word for birth control?

Define Betray: to be disloyal or unfaithful to….that's what my dictionary mentions about the one thing you gave me…no respect…no love…no concern…I allowed you get away with it more than once…for what reason…?! For Love…! What is love you say!? It is something you never considered…or might never feel...you promised to love me...but you broke that promise…you promised to care…but you broke that promise…I trusted you…I gave you my heart and sole…and what do I find..!? Betrayal… Betrayal is the only truth that sticks through out years…you pretend that you had no one but me…you imitated to love no one but me…a lie can never be kept for long…u have betrayed me previously but this time you betrayed your conscience…

Let's go with something simple today, but something that fills the frame at the same time.
This old dictionary has been around for a long time, years ago they were throwing it out at work because it was falling apart but I though Scott might like it for his origami, turns out it doesn't quite work for folding, but it does work for photography so this broken book still has some life left in it.
Hope everyone is doing well and staying safe.

It's worn down, it's old, it outdated. But it was my granddad's.
An old Dutch pocket dictionary, published by Spectrum in 1955!
Taken with another keepsake: my late dad's old Meyer-Optik Orestor 135mm f/2.8, with the help of some extension tubes.

Held together with duct tape, these books resovled many disputes (except for one of the more competitive sibs who would just tear the page out if it didn't agree).
Lately my life has been pretty stressful. I honestly put down my camera and didn't even think about taking pictures. I also completely stopped my 365 (oh well).
Everything has been starting to calm down and now I'm able to take some time for myself. I've decided to pick my camera back up and have a fresh start! But I can't find my tripod and need a shower, so here is a picture of my studious golden retriever ( who is currently freaking out because there is a baby deer in my neighbors yard).
I'm going to take this week by week starting today!
