I’m pleased to say that I have managed to resist buying any cheap watches so far as is my 2021 resolution. I watched two ordinary 1970s pieces go by on the bay for a song, but held off. I don’t need any indistinct watches that will cost me 5 times the price for a basic service only to never get wrist time.

How about you?

 

2021 goals? I got out of bed before midday. Does that count?

Oh yes, I changed straps on a watch at first attempt with no swearing. For me that's an accomplishment.

 

I'm still here, good enough so far

 

My goals is to find the box of New Year gifts I bought for my wife and son a few weeks ago. Totally missing in action; I somehow lost them in the Christmas prep.

 

I scrubbed the toilets- a great start to the year I think!

And at @Engee - that’s what the bargain thread is for- therapy for those of us trying to quit to street drugs.

 

Drink beer... check.
Watch TV... check.

So far so good!

 

I am weak & you are strong, Already caved in & ordered a new G-SHOCK casioak .

 

Stone cold sober, God this year’s gonna drag worse than the last.

 

Need to loose 20 pounds but it starts tomorrow I have a hangover and need lots of carbs.

 

I thought about “Dry January” for about 30 seconds.

 

Dry what??

 

Ha! Here’s an actual conversation I had yesterday:

Wife: “Are we doing dry January?”
Me: “No”

 

Mine was the reverse.

 

One year ago, so was mine.

 

I already broke the seal- one for me


And one for the Mrs.



They should clean up nicely.

 

My 2021 goal is to get a 105.012 '65 or '66 with a decent dial that hasn't been bastardised, relumed or ruined for a reasonable price.

 

a dry January? no way! this goes against what doctors recommend as keeping hydrated is more important during cold weather - and because of this important need to maintain our bodies hydrated keep in mind that whiskey is ~40-45% water, red wine is ~85% water, while beer with its 90-95% water content helps us to make up the water deficit found in the former two

 

Not off to a terrible start in regards to my goal of taking more watch photos.

 

I always get up early, my bladder makes sure of that. Then after watching Rawhide on the oldies channel I hit the sack till 1 PM then get up to watch Gunsmoke. Ain't growing old grand.

 

I am still going strong in practicing the art of patience, one of my last purchases of 2020 has been delayed and will take another week to arrive, instead of feeling frustrated, I am putting that energy into learning more about my 2021 watch goals (definitely can't sneak any new watches into the house for at least 6 months) or at least any sub price purchases
