Watches and Cocktails

Funny you should mention that, because I was thinking earlier about the first time I put a beads of rice bracelet on this watch and shared it, way back in 2016:

Got a lot of grief from purists about doing it, but google “beads of rice Speedmaster” and you will see dozens of pictures today. Guess I’m an influencer. Gave the old bracelet away to someone on the the forum who asked about it (I never liked how the end links fit because I had to grind them down from 20mm). When Unclestraps (formerly Uncle Seiko) came out with a version for the FOiS a few years ago, I got one and wear it every so often. Very comfortable and unique. Omega really should come out with a modern version. Imagine a new Aqua Terra standard on an updated beads of rice bracelet with an on-the-fly micro adjustment clasp.

it’d be a winner.

Two favorite hobbies …

Enjoying a Boulevardier tonight while time the steaks on the grill. Perfect for a hot and humid Florida evening.

Research for the Cocktail I’ll be doing on Monday for a party. SKX in the foreground and tape delay Monaco Quali in the back.

White Port and Tonic. Huge in Portugal not know elsewhere.

basically a less boozy more complex G&T.

Going to garnish with Orange and Rosemary I think. It needs a touch of herbal.
