C case Connie and Coffee. Hot and sticky here this morning, perfect watch for the weather.
C-case love! This thread needs more of them. Don’t think I’ve ever seen two on the same page. Or even two a week.

I gave up drinking in 1988. December 9th to be exact. It's gotten easier and easier to say "no alcohol for me" all the time. For me it was the best - the only - decision that made sense. But sometimes I see a beautiful bottle of the golden nectar and I miss it. Just a little. Not enough to ever be tempted to take another drink. But I recall those moments, sitting in a big comfy chair by the fireplace, and that first sip of that magic in a glass. Nostalgia.
Then you remember all the suffering caused by that poison dressed up all pretty. That’s the thing about nostalgia. The memory is always better than it actually was in the moment. Congrats on your continued sobriety brother.

A lot of chuckles per £ with this one 😀

That's what I love about Timex, they can make good quality watches and super affordable prices that look amazing like your piece

Couldn't agree more, a much underrated ref.

Testing my new phone with a shot of the 2254.50 back on my wrist. Rarely go a whole day with any other watch.

I'll be happy to do my part whenever mine gets back from service. Can't wait.

Thanks! I always thought of my alcoholism like a possessive demon. Always there hiding in the shadows, waiting for a moment of weakness to rear it's ugly head. Whenever I get home in the car with my family asleep in their seats, relaxed and safe, I KNOW I made the right choice and it strengthens my resolve. I saw almost immediately when I quit drinking what a hollow promise that "high" truly was. I still go out to bars with friends and family, they have a cocktail (or two) and I'm perfectly happy with club soda. No temptation for me whatsoever. It gets easier with time and my drinking days are well behind me.

Tuesday is over. Time to shelf the Speedmaster 345.0808, and retrieve my Landeron 48 based Bucherer chronograph for some exposure. This one in a “clamshell” gold filled case is from circa mid to late 1960s. It had been retired by a previous owner when I acquired it about 10 years ago. It sat unused in my vault until I resurrected it a few months ago, and serviced it. Good performer.
