·1971 and you retire? That's a long retirement!
When I got my first car each weekend we used to drive 50 miles in each direction and just see what we came across. We are going to do that again. No emails, no me saying “I just need to take this call” or “I just need to be at this meeting”. Instead 100% focus on her. (Well 100% minus a small % to finish my Iron Man Armour 😉.

·This came to mind when I saw the moonphase Speedy in your shortlist. One of my dream speedies. I’m a sucker for aventurine dials.

·Thanks all,
So many great suggestions. Have selected my favs and my family have waded in. My other half has vetoed full gold, she just doesn't like it. Below are what I am going to look at, assuming I can find stock somewhere. One or to go just beyond the budget but not a problem.
Thanks again all very much appreciated

·That's awesome! I used to play with Arduinos back in college (I think I still have the first gen board floating around the basement somewhere). How are you fabricating the armor - is it 3d printed, or another process?
I can't stand sitting still. If I ever manage to retire, I'd love to just take lots of workshops and learn how to make more stuff. I have some basic skills in woodworking and metal fab, but there's so much more to learn. Retiring to the couch and watching cable news all day seems to be pretty bad for the brain (from what I see from my relatives); this seems like a great way to have some fun challenges to wrestle with and keep the mind active.
To your original question, I also second all the people suggesting you pick up a vintage Ploprof. I think Tony Stark would approve.
yes I use a Bambulabs X1C to print the parts, then I sand them, paint them and then "Weld" the parts together. The final part is adding the electronics. But a great new thing to learn. But I am an amateur compared to some!

·I suggest the blue dial Globemaster (130.30.39.21.03.001) since you don't have much blue in your collection.

·Well there’s not much of a great many colours there, so going by that logic he needs many more watches covering a full spectrum of colours
Or the rolex bubble OP?!
