Watch-loving feline
Living in Norway will wear
Cat-i-er Santos!

My cats have built-in

Darkness outside autumn now

Happy birthday!

Wow, that’s something else. Stunning watches. Thanks for sharing, Neil.

jkbarnes Wow, your den looks wonderful. Congrats! Enjoy retirement and new house to the fullest.

Belated happy birthday!

I’m firmly in the ‘fun release, but not for me’ camp. A more subtle version I could perhaps contemplate … no, not really. I don’t have the money for this kind of joke watch, nor does it resonate with why I enjoy watches. But not everything need be for me.

I’m at 23,5 %. Which is more than I thought! I don’t wear them a lot, come to think of it. I probably ‘need’ a new diver …

Following Steve’s example I’ll choose three I own. My three would probably be these, as the collection stands today. The Explorer as an all-round/GADA watch. A can do everything watch.
