Ah hahahaaaaaa!!!

I would have loved to see your face when reality sunk in 😁

Just so you can imagine my face, the second box that I opened contains the full (25 volume) collection of the Works of Sir Walter Scott. Abebooks has an incomplete set up for sale at the moment, asking £110. The spines on mine need consolidating as there's some red rot but I have a bookbinder I use for rare books and I think these might be worth saving. There's also a first edition of Huxley's Art of Seeing (1942) and so far I'm up to 7 Kiplings, 3 Thomas Hardys and 7 that I've put aside as "interesting" ... just 11 more boxes to go.

Was I swearing not to buy another watch this year? Yes. Was I looking for a 38mm Uni? Hell no. Did this sing to me? Yea it did. I need to have an EU friend carry the UG signed NOS strap to me since it is lizard skin. Won't see that till late Sept. It's coming in with a leaf hand for my 38mm Tri that will hopefully fit.

By the way, original Pouge was sold for $6k, so paying $150 for two Seikos was really good score))))

It was sold in 2008 wonder how much it worths today in auction

On Saturday, after being so many years restrained by the thickness issue, not a real problem, at all.

I found this Seiko A904 LCD Chronograph an estate sale over the weekend ($3.00). It should make a few bucks on Ebay.

Finally a Speedmaster for my collection. A 1967. A bit rough around the edges but recently serviced. Has some new bits on it, but comes with all the original parts too.
