    Just came back from a bit of swimming in the sea. Now lying around the pool looking at my samsung. Yes, it's handy. And yes, it's ugly. Luckily I took my kontiki with me. But I do miss my other watches...

    Have a good summer OF!

    Nice leather watch rolls were invented for a reason. How negligent to only bring one vintage watch to a full holiday!

    Enjoy it, though. ;)

    I'm in Catalonia, near Begur. 20 years ago I was living for a year in Barcelona and in the weekends we would often go to all the little bays to hang out with friends. Now I'm here with my girlfriend and kids. And it's still wonderful.

    Enjoy it man! Looks beautiful... The scenery I mean :)

    I almost did a similar thread last week when I was in the mountains... But as it is a watch forum, decided it was better to show my dog and my food pictures haha

    But yes, I was wearing the same watch the whole week... And it felt awkward :) I was missing my other watches... I mean, I sometimes have morning, afternoon and, if needed, out for dinner watch changes !!

    I had mixed feelings, it was a nice to wear watch but I like variety ;-)

    I too am on holiday, I have my speedytuesday ultraman and my Garmin, which I only use for running. I am really enjoying having just the one watch to choose. Enjoy your holiday.

    Yes, I understand your sentiment @Shabbaz ! Before going on holiday I fret for days as I try to choose the perfect two or three watches to take with me. And then I miss all the others while I'm gone :)

    Beautiful pictures. Faint memory of you buying that kontiki. Looks great! And yeah, selecting the right watches for a trip: Always tough.

    Yes, we've been together for 20 years but I dont like to be in the centre of attention. I hate my own possible marriage. I suggested a double for the marriage so I can hang around the bar but somehow my girlfriend did'nt want that. And when people ask me about my wife I tell them I have a girlfriend. Somehow I get more respect. Dont know why.

    Anyway, today I'm off to the ferry to go to Mallorca for a couple of days. Bonus is, the ferry departs from Barcelona: my old neigbourhood. I got to see my house and my old bar A couple of pinchos and canjas later and I'm now waiting for the ferry to depart.

    Life is great when you're having fun...

    Just got back from a few days in Niagara Falls N.Y. Obviously lots of water involved, and some casual family events and tours. Took one watch, My Air King 14000. It's my do anything, go anywhere watch.
