What did I miss? Anything good?
I will say though, it was a nice 2 weeks.
My wife and I (well mostly her) had our second child so I too some time off work to be with them.
I also decided to take a (mostly) 2 week break from anything internet and social media.
It was magical.
What was once created as a tool to bring people together (I'm primarily talking about Facebook), has been pretty much weaponized, and has caused so much division. It is just an awful place to be.
I couldn't have picked a better time for a black out...election time.
But all good things must come to an end and now I'm back lol.
So yeah, what'd I miss?

Not much went on. A glut of 2915s and 2998s flooded the market and sold for pennies on the dollar, but really once we all scored 3 or 4 each it wasn't very noteworthy.

Vintage action figures [NOT dolls!] have assumed control of the watch world...

And you can't seem to settle on a new avatar apparently hah.
It always throws me off when people get new avatars. It is something I notice.

@SadKen solidified his status as an official OF member when seeing this listing:

Congratulations to you and your wife on your new bundle joy. There’s a lot more work involved but I’m sure it is better than buying a new watch. 😉
